Looks like from Yanti's FB, that she missed the cut off for the 4th lap of the run.

Someone posted it.  She has not posted anything.  Her sister just posted this though:

 

Here are her last 3 SMS's sent in the last 30minutes from Busselton, Perth:

(did) "not make 4th lap cutoff (in the run) but am fine and happy."

"had to (stop runnin'). they stopped me after 3rd lap, 10km to finish."

(all the support) "means the world to me. Very happy. I've been through so much and got real far. Support from all esp you, amazing. Please post to my FB? Am still at race site, but Piglet will take me home, but then I crash."

ABSOLUTELY YANTI, rest up boodles, we are all still cheering for you from near and far. As said, STELLAR MAGNIFICENT INSPIRING EFFORT. We LOVE YOU !!!!

Asalzwed - 2012-12-09 10:59 AM Alright Manatees, have a wonderful day. I'm off to my race. Cutting it close per usual. Sighhhhh. Summoning a little Yanti spirit right now (also looking a fool on public transportation in antlers, bells and tall red socks)

Asalzwed - 2012-12-09 2:34 PM Burnt? Sunstroke? Hard to imagine!!!!! It's brrrrrr here

KansasMom - 2012-12-09 6:55 PMHow did your race go?

Asalzwed - 2012-12-09 8:10 PM Well, it was fun. I really hate when I can't "race." My knee was just too swollen for the ROM I need. That being said, it was really as good as it could be. A GREAT course, fun crowd, well organized etc. I even had time to pee beforehand. I ended up 12th female and 3rd AG but it was far off from a PR. It's really too bad I wasn't able to dig deeper but I just couldn't. I guess I'm being hard on myself but adjusting goals like that is tough. I do have to say, I'm proud of myself for getting out there because I was really tempted to skip it and sleep in. But then I realized that there are going to be plenty of days that I will have to just get out there and give it my best. I'd only do one or two races a year if I waited for everything to be perfect Marathon training officially starts tomorrow! 18 weeks to Boston!

OK, I finally am somewhere that I can sit and type. Thank you everyone for posting this weekend, it was awesome to be able to follow what was going on with Yanti. And Yanti, you are one awesome lady. I can't wait to read your story from the race. I hope that you are resting and healing up over the next few days.

OK, so yesterday I got my Jogo challenge time in while walking to and from the stadium to watch the Bucs game. I am asking the Jogo judges if I can do nothing today and double up tomorrow? How about it, is that OK? I have nothing on the calendar for today, but I do have a group ride scheduled for tomorrow morning. And I hope to see the pool on Wednesday, so that will be the first bike and pool time in a month.

Enjoy your week everyone. Yanti, you are a rock star!!!

Jogo challenge is to get us all thinking a little more during the holidays.  I think it is okay because you are thinking ahead.  Now, if you blow off tomorrow and don't double up, I think you will have to face some manatee wrath!! 

amd723 - 2012-12-10 8:24 AM I am not in the Jogo challenge, so I can't help you out with a ruling, I'm here just to say what a tough loss for the Bucs yesterday!

jobaxas - 2012-12-07 11:50 PM Blooming windy in Melbourne it whipped up 2ins before start of OWS meet. A 1.2 actually nearer 1.6 but we won't quibble. Swim out to first buoy in eventful. Turn right go round headland 50 to second buoy 1-2m waves rolling me over couldnt see the buoy!! Scary just dug deeper than I've ever dug didn't see a life saver or I may have put my hand up decided to count 100 strokes then allowed 20 breaststroke to sight felt better the buoy just seemed to get further away! Once past that one and past the headland the swim to next buoy was easier the sun shone I could see the shore. Turned to swim to shore thinking waves would push me in but tide was going out so every break sucked us back out. An arduous event happy to have done it delighted and proud came 16th in my age group out of 20 I'm taking too 20 finish!Oh forgot my ear plugs hold on tight!!

I HATE WALKING!!!  I heart RUNNING!!  Dickens 5k walk done.  That hurt.  Blech.  I wanted to run.  Next time I won't be stupid and sign up for the competitive walk.  Only thing that got me to the finish line was the promise of homemade Christmas cookies and hot coffee.  Cold, raining, sleet, snow....WET!!!  Love the atmosphere.  1500 people, including  fasties from the Hansons Distance Project, wearing shorts and singlets in 30 degree weather. Very festive.  Wouldn't be the same if the weather were ever nice.

Good Job Jo. I finished in 1:04:48, which beat my goal!
