Blisters with a Brooks saddle!!!

Well I've recently bought the B17 Narrow saddle; I've told how was it on first few rides here, butI thought of asking about this in a different thread. Basically the saddle has been comfortable from beginning just that the sit bones had deal with little pain cause of the hard saddle.

26th I went for my 600brevet qualifier, although it was not a good thing to change the saddle before an important event but the comfort difference from the rolls was the reason. Well I did finish my brevet comfortably about 7hrs before finish time & I never got numb crotch like I get on the Rolls. Only that I was starting to have hot spots on but they werent making me uncomfortable; later I realized that these were blisters...small red spots. Is this a common thing??? I do get a little bit of thigh rub on all my saddles because I like to pedal really close to the TT, I use good Bibs like Santini GelIntex & P.I. Quest, could this be due to the lycra rubbing constantly & generating heat?? But more importantly what can be done to solve this problem??
