Thanks, I was hoping to not bother with socks but that’s a good tip. Number belt blowing away is a good one! I hadn’t thought of that. I was planning to have a very small towel under my shoes just to dry my face before I put glasses on.
Main issue will be finding my stuff when I get out of the pool without glasses!

Won my club sprint champs when a faster guy missed the turnaround sign and rode straight on at a roundabout, adding a few miles to the bike leg.
Another favourite was a mate who prepped everything with shoes on the bike. He’s a pretty keen CX so flying mount no issues. Turns out that doesn’t help when you’ve put left shoe on the right pedal and right on left…
Only difference really from a duathlon @Tallboy is you’ll have wet hands and feet from the swim, so it can be a faff if you’re planning on wearing socks. Short trainer-socks, half rolled open so that you aren’t fumbling with wet feet getting stuck on fabric. Maybe a bit of talc in the socks.
Practice a couple of times etc.
Or just don’t wear socks.
Good luck, enjoy!
