There was a similar thread about bike set up and too much weight on your hands?!?????
if you are on a drop-bar bike do you get this more or less if you are on the hoods or drops?
Glovedscertainly help a bit - particularly ones with some padding down on the heel of your palm.
The other thing that I have found really helps is fitting some clip on tri bars - as riding in the aero position you have less weight on your hands than when you are on the drops... probably means it is all down to bike setup, as I haven't had mine properly fitted yet.
i feel most comfortable to ride on drops but have to change quite often to rest my hands
