My friend recently arrived in Klagenfurt from Arizona for her first iron distance race – but her bike and other equipment has been misplaced by the airline.
Anyone have any suggestions or connections for last minute help?
Thanks.
I assume she has been in touch with the event organisers at the Expo / Strandbad about seeing if someone can loan or rent her a bike? My experience with everyone associated with the race was that they very accommodating and, more importantly, part of the local triathlon community. So if anyone would be able to help her I believe it would be them. Failing that, she could try reaching out to local shops herself. I think Mountainbiker were the official bike mechanics last year and Trisports was the triathlon shop we frequented the most. You may also want to reach out to Paul Kaye via Twitter (https://twitter.com/kayeman). Good luck.
Thanks for the reply. I passed along your message.
I’d run around the expo and pitch the hell out of the PR angle (amazong TriBlah rescued poor age grouper from stupid airline…)
