PHIL! How could you do this to Jen on her birthdaaaaaay!!!
She spent the entire race kvetching at how the other teams were lucky and laid back when she was trying so haaaaaaard! Yes, there was the floating gardens opening time bunching, but it looks like the airport was going to be the great leveler. So what? They still beat you in Taipei to the roadblock, did a speed bump and beat you to the detour (I think it was pretty smart of them to drink their tea outside so that they could immediately ask people where the next route marker was.
Jen, my dear - it was your insistence on taking the subway, then a bus to get to the detour. You were screaming about traffic at the bus stop - so tell me - you wait for a bus which would be in the SAME traffic as a cab you could have grabbed right away.
And what’s even better than you getting booted from the race on your birthday? The fact that you never, never, NEVER finished FIRST!
