Broken toe....

Says it all. I think I've just cracked it, and it's going a nice shade of purple. I'm expecting yellow tomorrow.
Any tips to get through the race?
Handful of painkillers?
Some kind of strapping?
Give up and have a bit of time off?
Thanks, you lot.

If you have broken it, it'll hurt far too much to race. I am a veteran of broken toes and all you can do is wait until the pain is bearable.
It might just be bruised? Ice, elevation etc?
My advice, don't do the race.
I demand a third opinion. Then a fourth, fifth, sixth etc. until someone lies to me.
Nah, I'm sure it's broken (again!). The one next to the left big toe, at the joint below the nail. Current status - dark purple and red, with just a hint of yellow starting.
Not happy.
Not even about my PB. The story of which will have to wait, Muttley, but essentially revolves around my having run a certain distance faster than I had done previously.
And my blooming home PC has died in sympathy.
Oh well, thanks all.
Excellent definition of a PB!
But it isn't. And you'd be foolish to damage yourself more by racing.
Rest up and you'll minimise your time out.
Race and you could knack next season's chances.
I am now not a happy bunny, but not a severely damaged bunny either.
Definitely the right decision - you are all very wise. Thanks!
I'm off to grease up the bike now.
Cougie, what makes you think it wasn't the Worlds? I'm mortally offended! ;-)
You'll be glad in the long run, poppet.
