Surprise, surprise….Chrissie Wellington won Kona again yesterday! This post is nothing other than a hell yeah because I think she is amazing. She crashed 2 weeks ago in a training ride, and still managed to come back and win with a second-best course record.

To go along with all the road rash from her crash 2 weeks before the race, once in Kona, doctors discovered tearing in an intercostal muscle and her left pectoral. Her her road rash wounds were scrubbed clean and she was re-prescribed antibiotics to fight infection. She took the pills through the week, but not on race day. that just adds to the legend of Chrissie Wellington
