Cooling down after T2: Cold Glove.

Torbjorn Sindballe at Kona in '07 wore a white glove he put ice in, and his hand acts like a radiator, cools the blood and increased his ability to stay cool, and run faster.

When I do brick work and or in T2, I notice that I heat up significantly off the bike into the run. After reading the research from Avacore's website, I'm convinced that a product like Sindballe used at Kona could be utilized out of T2 to bring down the core temperature for the first five minutes, giving you a significant boost in that difficult transition between bike and run.

I have some mock ups of a glove that you would have stored at the transition area that you would slip on in T2 and would cool you off for the first five minutes, and you would ditch at the first aid station. A device simply made to lower your temperature during the brutal T2.

It would be stored in a small insulated bag in T2. The glove would contain a gel, like that of an ice pack that will cool the palm of his hand, and would last for about five to ten minutes.
