Thanks for the advice guys. FWIW, I did have a 24 hour break after the race and before the ride home...and I still had the swelling. I got a $5 pair of compression socks from the local pharmacy, which claim to be graduated and designed for travel.
It may have helped a little so far, but my feet are still pretty swollen. I'll have to see how they are in the morning.
One thing to note is that on the way to the race I wore running shoes, and on the way back I had sandals on. Could wearing shoes possibly helped prevent swelling by keeping some pressure around the feet? I didn't have any swelling from the way down, but only after the return trip home.
Yes, the shoes could keep the swelling up or even prolong it. They (your feet) need to breathe.
