This morning while riding thru some twisties this morning something hit my left foot.
I don’t know if it was my reaction, the farce of the impact, or a bit of both, but all I remember is feeling a good bit of pain and my foot was hanging off the peg.
"WTF" instantly followed.
For the next couple of miles I could not feel anything from the foot other than discomfort. I could not wriggle the toes.
That got me thinking whether I should carry on to work, or return to home.
As I am dedicated to my work, I decided to carry on while trying the gears on the bike.
Down changing was not too bad, up changing not that comfortable, but I carried onto work while thinking thru the options and hassle factors of whatever I decide.
Dedication got the better of me, so I carried on to work.
Getting off the bike was ok'ish, walking to the door was more of a hobble, avoiding pressure on my toes.
When entering the lobby I noticed hazard tape across the doors of the lift...WTF...so a slow hobble up the stairs until I got some sort of rhythm going.
I can now wriggle the toes, not comfortable, but a fraction of the discomfort after the initial hit.
Now I don’t want to take my boot off, just in case the foot swells up and I can't get the boot back on.
