Yeah, I almost bailed on my second TransAm because I'd miscounted the days and booked the flight way to early (like, even if it went to plan this time, too early). Thankfully @DarrenFranks helped with flights so I could finish the ride properly.
Transiberica last year was similar - too many issues meant I was way behind schedule and then it gets to the point where you spend the rest of the race stressing about finishing in time versus just pulling the pin. For once, I pulled the pin and had a relatively comfortable return home with the time I had in hand.
