You did put ice on it didn't you? (sorry mothering instinct)

Just curious, if you go to that race in Italy how do you get your bike there? Big suitcase? I think you should take a bunch of us too as a cheering section hehehe So is this your first major battle wound? I love to hear good war stories! I don't have too many....My best one is either a few scratchs from a Great Horned Owl or some wicked floor burn from volleyball (of course that's excluding childbirth!)

Hope you're on your feet again soon, without pain!
