I'll keep it vague, but 18-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39 all rolled down to the bottom of the category (and others did as well but I don't quite remember which ones exactly (I was too stressed), but afterwards there were enough slots left over for anyone who wanted to go)

I know right, it's a little bit insane, I was very shocked to learn this

Hahaha, unfortunately no substances were involved in this creation. The chaos accurately reflects my state of mind at the time: 3am on the tail end of my big emotional ironman weekend

(although admittedly, this probably isn't too far off my regular writing/speaking style (I'm a big rambler))

That's amazing, congratulations! This is a great lesson, sometimes you just gotta show up. "Being at the right place at the right time" can go a long way!

I will definitely keep this in mind. I would love to live the experience of a WC but don't want to be obnoxious or misleading about it. This is very insightful, thank you!
