Discussion: You are truly amazing!!!

WOW! Very impressive to hang in there and win your age category. That rib was likely causing some wind resistance too (not just pain) and so not fair....now take it easy and let yourself recover :). Take it easy = slow down, no exercising!!!!!

Yes - congrats but TAKE IT EASY! Cracked ribs are painful, but you really need to recover well from the race. Maybe you should be thinking of serious ski racing next year (just to add another sport in your hectic life)

try not to laugh.

Way to make the rest of us feel like wimps Nicki. Congrats and you're mega tough!

Time to pick another event to do outside of Alberta. I'm thinking you'd love the CSM / Keski combo.

I have the CSM on my radar for next year.

Well done Nicki! You are a woman of "steel". Take a break and let yourself mend you've earned it!
