Hagg Lake Tri and my big toe

Yesterday was the Hagg Lake Triathlon. Coming out of the swim I caught my toe on some loose mat/carpet they lay over the ground, twisting it very hard under my foot. It hurt like anything during the bike, and changing from my bike shoes to my running shoes I saw blood on my sock, but didn't take time to investigate. The run caused even more pain, but I finished the race with my 2nd best time there ever.

This is how my toe looks this morning:

I'm kind of frustrated because I was hoping to begin in more earnest my Portland Marathon preparation this week (yesterday was probably my last triathlon of the year) and this is going to delay me some. I'm hoping it's just a bad ligament tear and not something worse.
