The Paralympic snowboarder, 34, was also bouncing back from an injury she sustained last week: a dislocated rib. However, she said, because she acted quickly, she felt well enough to compete.
"Right away I had massage & chiropractic work, ice & a lil rest," she said.
As she goes into the semi-finals, Purdy said that she and Hough are determined to have fun and not put pressure on themselves.
"It is truly life-changing," she gushed of the experience.
