WHAT A DAY
This is how it went down.
Thursday Morning
6am wake up
7:30am leave for Los Angeles international Airport for 9:30am flight to Texas
9am flight delayed until 1pm
6pm flight arrives in Texas
7pm connecting flight to Fayetteville Arkansas
7pm I didn’t get on the flight because I was a stand by passenger.
1am (Friday morning) board a flight to Little Rock, Arkansas 203 miles away from Fayetteville.
3:30am arrive in Little Rock with cab voucher for 333 dollars.
3:45am no cab driver wants to drive 203 miles to Fayetteville at 3:30 in the morning
4am I finally get a guy to take me after he was convinced my voucher was real and not a fake.
6:45am arrive at the Holiday Inn express in Fayetteville with NO Bags( bags where lost in the shuffle
9:45am wake up to check on bags
10am find out bags are in Little Rock
10:05 back to sleep
12:45pm wake up call to see if I want to race.
1pm get some cycling clothes, spare helmet, the new mechanics socks, Kayle’s sunglasses and luckily I had my own cycling shoes.
2pm race starts
6:45 I finish the race 20 seconds or so off the mail field.
It was a very long day yesterday. Now I’m sitting in the hotel after dinner still waiting on my bags to be delivered. I’m in the same clothes I had on Thursday morning. I sure hope to get my stuff by tonight.
Tomorrow is a long day again. 8am start and a 2pm up hill stage race.
