    injured Tri Advice Please 0.25 mi

      This is tough. Honestly I would probably wear something I knew would be comfortable. I have taped blisters with duct tape and that worked great for a run only but tape might come off in the swim and not sure you want to take the time to tape in T1. Interested to read more comments for new ideas.

      I'm doing El Dorado this Sunday. It's my fault for getting the shoes late. I like to run barefoot and I forgot the fact that my feet have to get used to it. I wear the same shoes for the bike and run. I'll look into some of these options.

      I say rest it until Sunday.
      My experience with New Skin and others is that they can temporarily defer pain/rubbing, but that they are equal or greater healing time to doing nothing.

      @April, great article. Thank you. I think I might see if my pelvis is out again. I think this is what originally contributed to the pain. However, after I got it fixed, it still didn't get better. But this would still help. I did have it confirmed that I don't have one longer leg--so that's good :) I'm hoping to just stretch the heck out of it.

      I think I messed up because I had Messenger work on it after the race because it had hurt so badly. Then he did his own kind of hurt (for which I am grateful). Even though I know I should take the next day off, I wanted to do an Anniversary run with hubby. Too much for this ole' hip. I think this is something that I will always have to deal with and figure out better ways to maintain less pain. Lots more stretching and strength training.

      You should DEFINITELY try the run and ride with your suit on -- it's not bad, but you'll want to get the feel of it.

      I'll give it a go sometime this week. It's a new suit but I never had troubles with the other suit and doing all 3. I thought about just wearing the old suit but it's hanging on a few threads so I'm not so sure.
