Thanks, Dave. The 11.9M version is correct.

And congratulations on your world record flight in the Silent 2!
BTW, the best things about my scenario is that Leo Bennetti Longhini
will retain his open distance record- *is there a nicer person in
soaring?

While it is definitely too late now, it is generally possible to
submit flights to OLC few days late, at least it used to be in the
past. All is needed is to email it to OLC and ask nicely. They are
more flexible than the FAI and can post it for you :-)
Could have won the OLC flight of the year award...
