Subject: is too much talc for T1 possible I've done 4 triathlons and #5 is Saturday. I still go with socks on the bike just bc running in my cycling shoes is better than trying to get my feet into the shoes already clipped in (the rubber bands to suspend the shoes just so seems to precarious ). My biggest T1 problem has been that it takes forever to get my feet dry. Experimenting in my bathroom has convinced me that talc (baby powder ) really can help.
First I step on a towel for 1-2 seconds, then I step on a thin bed of talc and shoot some talc over the top of my feet. Of course I have talc in the my prepped socks. Sitting down I then pull on my socks. Seems to work quite well. The talc is cheap.
I'm just worried than in the heat of the real T1, this over-reliance on talc could somehow back-fire?
Other experiences?
