Down

I went down on the bike today. Stupid sand on the bike path in Venice. Even though I wasn’t going very fast, it’s totally my stupidity for trying to ride there at all.

I’ve got some pretty sweet road rash on my right calf, knee, hip and elbow. Although it’s ugly, it’s nothing to worry about. My right shoulder though also took a lot of the impact and is in a bit of pain. Thankfully I did a good, hard swim before riding this morning and I’m not scheduled to swim again until Tuesday or Wednesday. Fingers crossed that it’s healed up by then. The bike is also totally fine.

At least my toe is finally feeling better!
