What is that Smell?

Well, its been a long time coming. Finally, I had my toes untwisted. Perhaps the loss of one bunion will increase my power to weight ratio on the bike; however, in the water, I will probably lose quite a bit of "kicking" thrust now that half the paddle is gone.

The first photo is the "after" photo of my right foot. It had been bothering me a long time. Everytime I ran, I felt like I had a stress fracture under my 2nd and third toes. It wasn't a stress fracture, but a goofy bunion trying to push my big toe into the adjacent little toes. Below is the "before" photo.
My brother Matt said it would be a real "tear jerker" if I could somehow return to triathlon after this life altering event.

Get your tissues ready!!!!
