Sunscreen question

I just cannot be convinced spray-on stuff really gets into your skin enough to 'last' unless you rub it in anyhow, hence little difference in spray vs. tube.

May I suggest looking at Z-block if you can find it.   This stuff does NOT run and get in your eyes.   Put it on right out of the shower, it's good for the whole day.   

I do not work for the company or anything like that, just a huge believer in the durability of the product.  It is expensive and worth it.

First time I saw that product I was baffled; I use body glide almost exclusively where the sun don't shine.

I use 50 spf baby sunscreen before the swim. 

Then a little individually packaged diamond sunscreen wipe (spf 30) at T2. It fits easily into the palm of my hand and I use it on my neck, shoulders and ears right before the first aid station so I can throw it away.  

Doesn't take any time since I leave it next to my run shoes and grab it on the way out.  Apply while running.  

- by the way, there is no particular reason I use that brand. Just happened to be what I picked up. 

Hilarious

For the tops of my ears (which got quite crispy when I was in Army basic training), sunblock lip balm is tiny and easy to apply - works well during the run when a hat won't cover your ears.  For everything else I use Mission products with great luck.

No, it's not bad form. Just make sure you aren't inadvertently spraying your rack-mates down wind. People are usually nice and will help you reach the hard spots, too. 

As for brands, I have had great luck with Neutrogena Sport - I use the cream product for my face and the spray everywhere else.
