* Clean the area using moist wipes, making sure it's really clean. Any unwanted residue will act as an abrasive.
* Diaper (nappy) treatment can help relieve the pain. [http://www.amazon.com/Desitin-Maximum-Strength-Paste-4-Ounce/dp/B003O32P8U Desitin] (or a [http://www.amazon.com/ZINC-OXIDE-OINTMENT-RUG-Size/dp/B000PHZ8W8 generic Zinc Oxide ointment]) is recommended by some runners, but does tend to leave white marks. Smothering the area with Desitin can help if things are bad.
* Cleanliness is critical. Make sure the areas is thoroughly clean, using wet wipes if you have to go mid-race.
* Lubricate before the race, clean and lube after you go and periodically through a longer race.
