    Socks

    Hi

    I have just started triathlon recently and have been wearing socks in the 2 races I have done. I have heard that pro's don't wear socks.
    Is this true? I have done a 5km run without socks but I feet that that was the limit. Any more and I would have blisterred.

    How do they do it?

    Shoe type and shoe fit are a great start. Lubing either your feet or the inside of your shoes helps too. A trick I like and use is liquid bandaid on the "hot spots". It forms and extra layer of skin and works great.

    Personally my cutoff is 10K though. Anything over that and I sock 'em. Good luck.

    I agree with Scott - anything over 1m, and you can spare 30 seconds in transition to put socks on. Just make sure your feet are clean, otherwise you will be dealing with a stone or twig on your running shoe.
