my latest injury

It's funny how I don't actually get injured in sports, just side activities that have nothing to do with anything. But now that I've said that, I'll probably get injured in cycling next. Last weekend, I was getting a fish out the live well of a boat and the seat I was leaning on fell in (one of those fold-over seats) and my chest hit the edge of a bucket. So now I have a bruised ribcage and am finding cycling to be quite painful, even for someone who has a decent level of pain tolerance. It could be several weeks before the pain goes away. This happened just as I was getting my full race fitness back after the toe incident. I really do have the worst luck on the planet. I thought that avoiding power equipment would prevent further injury, but now it appears that my activities outside of work and cycling should be limited to reading and watching television.

Ow! Sorry to hear it.
But I hope your recovery is speedy. I've always been bummed about ribcage area injuries as it's one place you can't immobilize the area. Ya gots ta breathe.
And it's not like you can do compression there (gasp!) like you can for other soft tissue hurts.
