What do you do to keep your mouth from getting sore/pickled from longer ocean swims. The first hour of so is okay but after 3 my mouth is gettign very sore and stays that way for a few days. I think its from salt water getting in when I breathe. I'm now recovering from a 6 mile swim-my mouth is the only hting that hurts, and contemplating a 10mile swim and I need HELP so my mouth can make it! I was drinking water/sports drink every 20-30 minutes although i don;t always have that opportunity.
Thanks!

Hey I offered my support a few cold ones after 6 miles and she wanted a pasta dinner, I did too so it worked well!
Now if I can manage to chew and swim without choking! I also have to work on feeding faster as I just don't swallow that quickly.
Right now my mouth is still sore from friday's swim but I think its too late for jellybeans. SOmeone else suggested chocolate but jelly beans sound safer!
Thanks!
