Go for it, OP! Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't. Because until you try, you'll never know.
Even if you don't become World Champ, good things will come from your efforts. There is no down side to giving your best toward your dreams. Life is a journey, and the destination unknown. Don't wait until you're 70, wondering why you never tried.
I hope you do. I truly admire people that go after their dreams.
