had a pedal strike on a root yesterday and cracked my big toe (had a lightweight adidas terrex curb stealth shoe on), about 25 mph, it really hurt, toe felt to bend right back. somehow didnt crash ;0)
today its regular size, but looking at it, its a deep purple to the left half including going under my nail, it hurts walking and touching..
anyway i'm meant to be walking yorkshire 3 peaks in two weeks (24-25 mile 1400m), will it be alright, i'm not looking for an excuse i want to do it..
anyway to my question, i don't want sympathy,
has anyone done similiar what recovery time,
I think the root will be OK in a couple of days - your concern is lovely.
Probably broke my big toe a few years back, lots of pain killers to ride the rest of the week then limped around in sandles for quite a while.
@ dannyh the root is no more, i'd ripped out the ground about a foot long, so i pulled out what was left of it
and ceremoniously wang'd it into some bushes.
@mikewsmith yeah i'm doing cutgate and ladybower loop this weekend, so plan to do the painkillers, just concerned about 3peaks walk..
Don't worry, it will likely have died and fallen off by then.
what recovery time,
As as long as it takes for you to MTFU, princess. 😘
 its gone sparkly now

That will teach you to be a speed king - it might just take your life. How much does it burn?
Just keep icing it. If it gets you out of trudging around the 3 Peaks, that will be a bonus.
