I hear the rule of thumb for socks on the bike is YES for Sprint, NO for Ol;ympic+. I've tried it once in a Sprint and it worked fine but my Sprint on Saturday tackles 2 huge hills so I'm afraid blistering could be a factor though I haven't had one for years. I'll be using talc. I always wear socks for the run but it seems impossible to get my feet dried quickly in T1, by T2 it is not an issue and getting the cycling shoes off is easier without socks.
Other experiences? Insights? TIA
