New to OW swims longer than what's in an Olympic tri and am registered for 2 this spring. I'm worried about frying my back and legs. What is a good sunscreen/block that stays put for a couple of hours? Thanks in advance. You guys are so inspiring (and funny in places).
Am I correct in interpreting this as I should put my number on myself in those two places before putting on sunscreen? (Or wait to put on sunscreen until after I'm marked?)
In Steven Munatones OW Swim book, he suggests that if you apply sunscreen before getting marked, the ink might run when you get into the water. I can't say that I've ever had a problem with the number running off, though; usually the number stays on for a few days after the swim. Make sure they use a fat marker
