There are creams available that are suppose to protect your exposed skin from the stings. If you can find some, or they have it at the race, it would probably be worth putting on. ETA, this must be the Sea Safe stuff mentioned above.
AWESOME! I'm feeling so much better about the race!

I have no clue where to buy creams like that! Unfortunately I fly out Fri afternoon and arrive at 8:00 PM... then we have to get up at like 5:30 AM Sat to make it to the race.

Someone mentioned Vaseline? It might be the poor man's way to protect to my face?
