Kreig here. I'm just returning from my trip to Asia, and have 4 events in 5 weeks coming up. You know my plans for next April - it's all just training for that, really. I'm glad I found this article (even though it is 2am)! I just wanted to let you know, once again, that you truly inspire me personally. I'll be in touch soon to pick your brain some more... ;o) Take care, and God Bless Kreig Hi Nicki. Kreig here. I’m just returning from my trip to Asia, and have 4 events in 5 weeks coming up.

It has taken me a few days to digest the enormity of what you have done...Even now I struggle to put into words this small tribute as an award of homage. You constantly amaze and inspire me and it is humbling to be your friend. Your actions truly are Heroic. I strongly encourage you to formally document this event. I suspect its not your style to be self promoting like a celebrity, however we all stand to gain in the realisation that within us is a capacity beyond measure. God Bless Giulio and Mandy Hi Nicki,

It is some time now since we spent time with you and Nick in Canada but I vividly remember our drive through the Rockies and seeing a Bear, also riding the luge. You are truly an inspirational person and I hope I can use your experience to gain strength when I really need it. Kindest Regards Steve and Wendy Tilbrook G’Day Nicki,

You're an inspiring lady, and it was great to have met you in Montreal last year... I will now pick my chin up from the floor and pass this on to many friends who run marathons for a living, and see whether they would or could ever push themselves to this kind of challenge! Beautifully written too. Happy travels. Char. WOW…truly amazed…no wonder we have no chance in winning the City Chase against you Nikki!

You write very colourfully, it was a joy to read, and I know it is a mere fraction from what you experienced. I especially enjoyed reading that you got to witness two extremes; that perfect silence, and the full fury of nature. Thanks for sharing this, and I look forward to when we get to read more like it!

Only you could make insanity sound not only normal, but also desirable. It sounds like an amazing experience. Can't wait to here more about it this summer when I finally get organized and can meet up with you. Thinking of you. Nicki, you ROCK!
