On my way to Thailand, I had to overnight in Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur, home of The Bike Boutique KL!

with Daniel & Emma of TBB KL
Our very own Emma graciously took me in, where I immediately got in a swim after 24 hrs of traveling. I tried to ignore what time it was back home in San Francisco. Then I got a tour of our TBB store!

oh hot pinkness!
I have been to the Singapore TBB and the kiosk in Subic. But this one was the biggest yet!

2 stories of hot pinkness!
It’s always very cool to check out the stores of our title sponsor.

hanging out with my virtual peeps until the real deal in Thailand
Then back on the road to the next destination…

Didn't I just say everyone's gearing up for Chinese New Year?
My Chinese taxi driver told me that 26% of the Malaysian population is Chinese. Unfortunately I didn’t get a photo of the elevator buttons in Emma’s complex but there are no floors #4 and #14. They’re called “3A” and “13A” because 4 is a very unlucky number in Chinese. 4 means death. My brother’s birthday is actually the 4th day of the 4th month but he seems to be doing all right. ;)
Apparently I also recruited another Wongstar fan during that cab ride. Mr. Cab Driver wanted to know all my websites and wants to see me win Ironman China. Ah yes, well so do I! I told him he could “become a fan” on Facebook: www.facebook.com/WongstarFans.

here's my entourage
Well I’ve mastered traveling with just a bike box, carry-on, and small backpack. Although I realized while unpacking yesterday that I packed 4 bikinis and 7 sports bras and forgot all my running shirts… Then I checked the weather forecast and thought, maybe I don’t need shirts…?
