Was swimming at the pool yesterday and went to kick off the wall when both of my feet somehow came out of the water and scraped the edge. The pain was intense but I kept swimming. I thought I just banged them against the wall and not actually scraped them. 20 minutes later I was finished with my set after putting in about 1600 yards. I get out of the pool and blood starts spurting out of my left big toe. Walk over to the lifeguards and apologize for the mess. They say no problem then see the blood and say "Okayyyy". I sit down on the deck and they grab some first aid. Then I notice my right big toe is also cut as is my right index toenail. That toenail is going to fall off. The guards were asking me how this happened and I explained. They seemed incredulous as to how this could happen. That makes 3 of us.
I have a trail race on Saturday that is looking doubtful now that I have 3 lacerated toes. I haven't worn shoes yet so I don't know that's going to feel. Hoping that this won't be debilitating for too long.
