I got mosquito bite just below my ankle, where the the shoe touches the skin. I have an Oly race tomorrow, and I run with no socks. I walk in my running shoes today, just to get used to them (I recently bought those and run with them few times), and it got pretty bloody and painful.

How to address it by tomorrow? There is no way this thing will heal. Should I wear a sock for the run?

Good luck tomorrow, how do you feel? Still nauseous?

Why would you NOT wear a sock on your run?

What are your distances.....and what is your goal finish time?

Bass line may protect your skin. A little on the adjacent shoe and some on your foot press in and reapply in transition

Thanks all for your tips/advice.
The reason I don't wear socks during the race is to save time in transition.

I ended up wearing one sock. Tried to put it as fast as I could've, although, I already knew I would not be breaking my record, so I was more relaxed
