Gutted my 719's have got a spoke snapped at the nipple, no idea how its happened but the spoke is a bit bent too. Easy enough to repair or is it a bike shop job? (seeing as i've never done wheels before). First time this has happened to me.. Raging seeing as the wheels have done mostly road with maybe 50 miles max of xc..
Any help appreciated, cheers.

well do you know the correct spoke length? can you buy one spoke?
take it to the LBS."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

No idea what the spoke length is as I bought the wheels from crc! Probably wise to take it to the LBS, dont trust myself and could see it going severely wrong. Cheers!0

Get CRC to send you a few spare spokes if you want a cheap fix. Probably best to get it to a LBS and ask them to check and, if necessary, retentsion the whole wheel though, as the failure may be due to low overall spoke tension.0
