Veteran  487  |  Subject: I'm an IRONMAN!!!!!!On Saturday I crossed the finish line of my very first 140.6 mile triathlon!!! It was a three year journey but I did it!!! But for the first time I have a saddle sore. I've been keeping it clean and dry. Is there anything else I need to be doing? How long will this take to heal? Thanks!! |

Master 2855  Kailua, Hawaii | Subject: RE: I'm an IRONMAN!!!!!! congrats on your Ironman finish! as for the saddle sore, hot bath will help it ooze out... they go away after awhile. I use Neosporin if it's open, to help heal it. |
