Aw I think the term perfect storm is way overused but Murphy's Law was in full force today.

I thought of you and your puppy though! We met the nicest Shepherd ... have a pic somewher.

Bad luck Yanti, me and the Misses were gutted for you this morning when I woke up to do my big leg with you.

Oh Yanti I am so sorry!

great big mastiff melon presses to you and no laughing cause that will make the ribs sore.

Also it's midnight in NZ so why aren't you sleeping?

I hope that nice shepherd didn't have anything to do with the crash!

Here's a FB update from Yanti:

Hey wonderful people--I felt the love and strength all day. Unfortunately I'm broken (a rib, joints are very red, swollen and bruised), and my bike is REALLY broken. A lot of things went wrong today, and a lot of things went right. Mostly it was glorious, and I was deeply humbled and grateful for the incredible support I felt from all of you. THANK YOU!

Big race simulation today went well. Slowly building my relationship with lemon-lime Gatorade. Meh. Thinking of the other racers today! And healing thoughts to Yanti. She's probably more pissed about having to keep extracurricular activities to a minimum with a broken rib.

I was thinking the same thing re the broken rib. I had one a couple of years ago and it was quite limiting for all activities.Glad your training is going well.

amd723 - 2013-03-01 4:55 PM Is there something wrong with ironman's tracker ? Surely she should have at least the first bike split 5 hrs into this right? Or have I totally misjudged things? Also, why no video????

Because they suck. No video. No bike splits for anyone. I must have said 50 times this afternoon, "I hate Ironman."

Well, they blog has a link for the Ustream video, but I can't watch it. I swear someone is going to get killed. What is so important that all those people need to cross in front of cyclists going downhill, coming out of a corner? That's just suicide.

Seriously. I have a huge problem with the amount of money they charge people and how effed everything always seems to be.

If I ever decide to do the distance, I don't know that I would choose an actual IM branded event.

I haven't done an IM branded event yet, but when I started this journey, one of my goals as to get to Kona...so I'm going to be forced to do one I guess. The event I did last year was great, limited to 300 entrants, only about 65 doing the full.. I'm doing it again this year.

Here's the magical picture of me eating a 20-piece chicken mcnuggets while running. I only got to like 11 or 12 though.

This is AWESOME... I love this pic..everything about it.

Since I had some spare time to do some maths, I am on day 92 of a running streak. Not that I have any intention of holding that streak as I will be tapering in a month.

Is anyone else streaking at this point?

Do you not read the posts? Jo is streaking!

Excellent news!

Re: Yanti, I wonder if the fact that the bike had mechanical issues before the race played any roll in what happened during the event?
