I hope she doesn't mind me copying/pasting her status from FB! There isn't anything personal, and it gives all the details. Only Yanti could survive a crazy trip like THAT and still have her head on straight! 1 DAY TO IM JAPAN (Sat) & finally made it here! 1st meal (Powerbar) in little Japanese room (note incredible view in background!). Summary: 1. Typhoon delays flights arriving in Korea. 2. People arriving before me who didn't make their connection to Sapporo had priority. 3. I got bumped to 3 flights later. 4. I made a fuss. 5. I got upgraded to business class on next flight (still 10 hrs later than original connection). 6. Arrive Sapporo. Rental car company has problem with my booking; no one speaks English; cannot resolve. 7. Carry, on my body, by myself, bikebox suitcase carryons onto train to Toya. 8. Miss 1st transfer b/c took too long getting off train. 9. Get off at next station. No elevator. Haul all down 2 long flights of stairs (nice piglet helped!) across to opposite platform and up 2 flights of stairs. 10. Back to transfer station. 11. Made connection. 12. Arrived Toya YEEEEES!!!!! checked into hotel superfast. 13. Walked to mandatory meeting/registration JUST IN TIME. 14. No one at expo has air cartridges (you can't fly with them b/c compressed gas) OR frame pump. No bike shop in town. Flat tyre = race over. 15. I eagle-eye different race mechanics, spot the one speaking some English, and beg. 16. He has 2 cartridges + frame pump as a packet but not for sale (many had already asked; many looking for cartridges or pump). 17. Beg some more. 18. Puppy eyes fill with tears. 19. He agrees to part with it for $50. 20. I now own world's most expensive air. Conclusion: ALL IS WELL and the race is easy after this! THANK YOU! Edited by KSH 2013-08-29 9:25 AM |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Yanti Wants You as a Virtual Race Pacer for IM JAPAN! Yanti checked in over on the Manatee thread to let us know that she is safely encased in her hotel room and has retired for her last good night of sleep before the race. Not sure that she actually got her bike put together or if she has decided to leave that for tomorrow |

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Yanti Wants You as a Virtual Race Pacer for IM JAPAN! Go, oh great and humble one, GO! Can't wait to Ironstalk you (and even though I'm not on the official list, I'll be sending my best vibes along the route - for some reason standing just before the horn is in my head, so I'll bend my will upon you this evening). Matt (and "bend my will upon you" does sound a bit odd, doesn't it? Well, you know what I mean) |
