Our adventure continued without further injury, apart from some major blisters on my left heel from pushing my bike up a long, STEEP road. Those suckers didn't pop until Sunday when I was in the middle of my long trail run (and doing some hills for the fun of it!)
I have found the perfect solution to blisters, however -- duct tape. I'd read about using duct tape whilst perusing some trail running sites. When I got home, I unfolded the flap of the blister, put Polysporin on it, refolded the flap, and then put a bandaid on it. When I went swimming the next morning, I put a piece of duct tape over the whole thing and it did the trick. I'm sure my fellow swimmers thought to themselves, "What in the world is a big, honking piece of duct tape doing on that girl's foot?" But it stayed put the entire swim session. No flapping bandaids in the bottom of the pool from this chickie. LOL!
I applied new duct tape afterwards and did a brick workout and had no problems at all -- I LOVE DUCT TAPE! Hee-hee!
So with silicon in my ears and duct tape on my feet, I'm ready for IMC!!!
