Seems the storm will skip the eastern part of the island coast and continue north east direction to mainland China; looks Sunday will be a very nice day for a race. The storm is getting close to the island at the moment, sea surge is high compare to this morning; even the wind is getting stronger and cooler air prevails.
I have never seems such an unorganized bunch of people hosting a race. This reflected why this event has been missing in China for the last two years. I had hosted a National event with less man power, less resources; here, this Ironman organization from the US has 100 times more people to help out. Seem no one knows what's that. Getting questions answered were like pulling teeth. Or non existent.
The hotel itself is being overwhelmed. We ordered a meal and after an hour and a half, nothing came. So we cancelled it. Initially, we were in the restaurant called Breeze; very unorganized; we just sat wherever; but no one actually cleaned the tables. We just left. I just wrote a personal note to the GM of this hotel as I received one from him personally greeting message in my room. Gold member has it's privilege, perhaps. Well he did say if I need anything, just contact him. Well, is he here in the hotel or in mainland somewhere waiting out the storm? Just kidding here. I'll drop it off at the front desk or at the business centre.
Well, let see how tonight's Carb loading meal is like. For spouse, ticket is either US$30 or RMB$210; should have given them US dollars; cheaper.
