And yeah, I've been to DC a few times for raves and the Beast Coast parkour jams, and it's a seriously muggy, hot city which is draining in its own way, so not surprised you felt so exhausted by the end of all that!

    Well done... I know about that introversion that always feels like were the odd ones out, so I get how the day of small talk to a bunch of strangers (nice as they are) was far more exhausting than the multiday build, not to mention, at times you had all eyes on YOU, during the rides, which can be anxiety inducing, but you n your savior buddies pulled it off!. What a cool experience, now back to the woods huh!
