UPDATED: Congratulations to our winner, Joseph Brescia, who submitted the following story: 

“Last year in a freezing April triathlon I slipped on ice, put my jacket on backwards, broke an aerobar on dismount, hit a volunteer with a flying shoe, still finished top 5, and won my age group, however, at 32 I was the ONLY person age 16-49.”
