Then decide that you just can't miss the race the next day. And yes, it does hurt...
Unfortunately, some of the guys I race with are awesome sprinters, and I'm not.
PS - "Hello B Grade" for Tuesday night. There's a few of us moving up before we get moved involuntarily.

Racing... not too bad.
Commuting to work today and riding over bumps.... Ouch!
Xrays in an hour. If there's anything floating, I'm going on crutches.

Just had the XRays done - I have to wait for the report, but from the initial appraisal it seems there is a problem. I'll find out after 2:30.

I did actually finish the run, but admittedly it wasn't a very good time. I hope you don't have any issues that keep you off the saddle long term. Good luck with your appointment.twizzle wrote:Ah, but you only STARTED a 100km run. (I can't see the image at work, so I'll have to look tonight).

Good news that you don't have a break. But then there's no impact with cycling anyway so you sissies shouldn't have a problem with the odd sore toe.twizzle wrote:How the heck did you do that??!?
I damaged my toe running 160km in 19 hours at Coburg in April. Then in June I made it worse running 182km in 20 hours at Brisbane. But the 100k was in late July in Caboolture. Probably shouldn't have done that..... Did learn a few things about nutrition planning though so alls good

Sorry about the crappy picture quality, I don't have a slide scanner so had to improvise with a bike light.

Actually, he does - that's what fracture in non-displaced fracture means. Just means it hasn't moved out of alignment too much, which is good. The "near-a-joint" bit is a complication - not so good possibly. Will need the orthopaedic specialist to determine best course and follow-up etc.,.JustinS007 wrote: Good news that you don't have a break.

Mate if that had happened to me they would have had to wheel me around the criterium in a wheelchair.

Doctor's position (and confirmed with a quick google) is that unless it's displaced or in the big toe, they don't bother with it. I don't even get crutches.wombatK wrote:Actually, he does - that's what fracture in non-displaced fracture means. Just means it hasn't moved out of alignment too much, which is good.

Lol - at least the fracture explains why it hurts so frikken much if I try and put a regular shoe on.

Actually, there's probably some truth in that. Mmmmmm - endorphins.

Great news. Surely he recommended at least a nice stiff soled shoe. Wonder what you've got that fit's that bill ? Cycling shoestwizzle wrote: I don't even get crutches.

Can't sprint out of the saddle, can't ride over bumps, but can race and train on the circuit.

- 11 days before I was able to get out on the road due to the pain in the toe over bumps.
- 15 days before I could fit that foot into a regular shoe.
And I still can't bend it much, after 30-odd days.
