So I arrived in beautiful San Francisco today with my 19 YO daughter in tow to have a fun mother/daughter Escape from Alcatraz vacation. I race, my daughter gets the race shirts. My daughter's bag and my bike arrived, but my bag with everything, and I mean everything (wetsuit, normal clothes, race clothes, prescription goggles, three pairs of running shoes, bike shoes, helmet, back up race clothes, really everything) is missing. There were later flights tonight that the missing bag could have been on if they had found it, but it is still missing. I still have some moderate hope it will be found tomorrow, but my experience with missed bags is that if they know where it is, it is on the next flight. Like missing people, the longer the search goes on, the less likely a happy outcome.
My question for our SF women (Katey, CLM--hey I lurk--a lot) is there one place I can go on Friday morning and just spend my way out of this predicament? I don't want to sound like I have tons of $$$$, but I'm from the east coast so this really is an event tri, it is the highlight of my year, and my 5 year tri career really, and I'm just trying to come up with a plan B. I literally only have my bike and the clothes I wore on the plane at this point. I don't have many options.
And to think I thought the swim, bike and run would do me in! Clothes?!? I'm stressing over clothes and equipment. If you knew me, you'd appreciate the irony in all of this.
Thanks for your help.
