Clots are generally treated with blood thinners! Don't just assume it will go away, esp if your arm is still blue. I would go back or get another opinion.

Did they give you any blood thinners for the clot?

I would go for a 2nd opinion, just to ease your mind if you are not comfortable with the course of treatment.

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didn’t slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
