DANG!
I’ll take the runner’s word about a gruesome injury.
I really don’t need to look at the photograph.

Comfrey and arnica, plus red light therapy. Wouldnt get him racing next day but would help with pain and really speed up the healing process.
High School, about 1977. While walking up to start the half-mile run, I noticed a spike was missing from my left shoe. I ran the race. The uneven pressure on my foot left a silver dollar sized blister the sole behind the big toe. When my thick callused skin finally peeled back, it looked much like that picture.
The agony of victory.
I was once playing tennis and I simultaneously broke my shoelace in two spots. I finished the set by taking off my shoes and socks. My foot didn’t look that bad, but I limped around for a week.
Not worth it.
That’s bad. But I was a pole vaulter in highschool and my hands would get chewed up. Try sliding down 10 feet of carbon fiber on a missed vault..
that is gnarly!
gonna be limping for a day or two, I bet.
