Late Start AT Thru Hike

Sup yall!

I'm registered and planning to start my AT thru hike on April 23rd for various reasons. I hate the cold cold (like Chicago cold) so I'm starting later. Am I going to be alone on trail starting so late?

I do expect to catch up to ppl eventually as I'm a pretty zippy dude but... is this too late? Did I jump the gun by registering to start so late?

Thanks!
