Blisters

Please read this as not an excuse for my horrible time in the run of my triathlon. Nor is this an excuse like the train in the 1/2 marathon, which by the way, I did not use an excuse for not breaking 2 hours. I simply mentioned that a train disrupted the race for many runners.

I previously bought a pair of running shoes. And while they look good, they don't really feel all that great. I had been getting blisters on the side of my foot. All was well last week, until I picked off the dead skin on the side of my foot one night. The next day I went running and a blister formed on the fresh soft skin that was under what was left behind. The truth be told, my foot didn't bother me at all in the race. But I wanted to show the picture anyhow. I popped this monster last Thursday night, I would guess at least an ounce of "juice" came spewing out.
