16 Apr, Thur 11am. Budget terminal.
5.40pm : At the IM Hospitality desk at the Haikou Airport. Cost RMB60 to get our bike to the hotel. We then hopped on a cab.
8.30pm : Having our dinner at a food court in Min Chu Shopping centre in the heart of Haikou city
9.30pm : Shopping at supermart. We emptied the mineral water shelf.
Somewhere on the centre and top of the notice board is a chart of tide and current rate against the time of the day.
17 Apr, 8am. Cloudy : We took a shuttle bus to the transition area (TA) which is about 20 min away. Put on our wet suite and tried out the swim. Joe and Danny (our breast-stroker) decided to swim without wet suite.
Crown Spa & Resort is a pretty decent hotel
The race expo was quite small in scale and the K-Swiss mechandise was a bit over-priced. :-(
Bernard picked the right person to have a picture with. Charlotte Paul went on to win the women pro div and clocked the fastest marathon split, beating all the men.
17 Apr, 2pm. Going for a tour of the open market in town center. The pan-fried toufu looks nice but it was not worth the risk. Maybe after the race.
17 Apr, 5pm. Going for a short ride to make sure the bike works... David got a flat from that.
18 Apr, 2pm. It has been raining all night and stopped after lunch. Checking in our bikes.
20 Apr, 2pm. Award lunch. C2T Shawn is a Kona qualifier !! She won her age-group. We are so proud of you, way to go, Shawn.
