The first in probably a long line of tri related injuries. Hopefully not, but I'm sure some sort of injuries are inevitable.
Knuckle, meet gear.
While exchanging my old strappy pedals with some clipless pedals tonight, I misjudged the force needed to actually get the pedal loosened. I wasn't thinking about anything other than the wrench, and was surprised and frustrated the moment the pedal moved and my knuckle slammed into the bike gear. Went deeper then I would have expected, but not as deep as it could have.
I got it good and cleaned out, but may have a tattoo there once it heals up. Not sure if I got all of the gear grease out of the wound. I hope so though.
I'm also not sure if I should have gotten a stitch or two in this. Guess we'll see tomorrow, eh?
It seems like it's healing up now, so that's good. You neglected to mention falling not off the bike while testing out the clipless pedals. That was a sad night.
