I arrived in Wellington yesterday, and at parkrun I discovered Round the Bays is on on the next day (now today). So I signed up for my first ever international race, with zero prep. It starts in 90 minutes. What could go wrong? :p

It'll be a great run or a great story!

Hearing about the event the day before, and signing up for it with no prep and doing well on my first international event is the story :)
