I'm good for an isolated night or 2 out throughout Stampede, but I don't know how people well into their 30s & beyond do these multi-day Stampede benders. I'm just constantly bagged, which makes me less social than I normally am on a night out...I don't have that extra gear anymore it seems.

I get this. I went to Tiesto last week and I was doing perfectly fine the next day. But I also saw those that were struggling and also those that were going even harder that were right as rain the day after.
I don't think you're missing the extra gear. It's dormant as mentioned. I think it's more likely you're missing the motivation/raison d'être. When you're sore and tired, it's difficult to drag yourself to the gym/parties if you don't have a reason to be excited to do so. This especially if you've always been more of a sprinter than marathon runner.
Also, others also might be quietly rolling molly and whatever, so they're walking on clouds or power overwhelming. I don't do that stuff, so I'd feel like I got run over by a car instead. Easy to see in that scenario who might be more likely to want to run out to jump around and who wants a day at the spa instead.
Spa days are great. Workout, swimming pool, sauna, massage... ah. It's a great reset to the baseline. It's crazy how you can feel like you are strong enough to tackle basically anything... then kids demolish you literally without breaking a sweat in record time. Sometimes I actually wonder if 30 minutes with a rugby player is less strenuous to the body than 30 days with toddlers and young children.
