Lost Baggage in Kona and may not be able to race :( WTF!!!

Thanks for checking in. So I am not too sure why it is that when I travel for a race, even if I try to ensure everything is in place, tagged, and on its way, Murphy's Law seems to take over and everything gets all f@#ked up!!

So, I flew with United Airlines. I arrived at the airport 2 hours early and still almost missed my flight! They had a single person working for the enitre airline at checkin. When it was finally my turn, the girl had no idea what she was doing. Finally we got my bike and baggage arranged. I ensured that they put tags on my stuff, as it looked as though they may not.

When I arrived in Kona last night, my stuff did not :( I am sorta stressing about things as the race is 2 days away, and I need to be relaxed and focused. I am hoping things get organized today, and I can race. I have put some much time and money into this race!!

Send some positive vibes to Kona for me please, and hopefully I will be toeing the start line Saturday, or else the customer service at United better be prepared to deal with a full on temper tantrum from yours truely!!!
