Would the same suggestions apply for when you can’t stay dry during your ride? Like during a triathlon?
For sprint/olypmpic I have applied chamois cream before the race and it seemed to work. 70.3 I apply the chamois cream before the swim and start to feel chafing near the end of the bike. For 140.6 I’ve tried to towel dry in T1 and apply chamois cream, then reapply at Special Needs around the halfway point but by then the chafing is already noticeable. No lumps, just skin rubbed raw and red.
