There's parts of me that are really excited to have signed up for Ironman. There are other parts of me that are screaming "What the hell are you doing?!" One part screaming are my lady bits. I'm not gonna lie...I really don't like riding a bike. Why? Because it's painful to me. Unlike most people, bike riding does not hurt my behind. To me it hurts my pelvic bone, way up front. My bike was fitted with my seat sitting way far forward so that I get most of my power while riding in aero. While this is good, it causes tremendous pressure where I don't really like it. And, I'm not sure I can stand a whole year of it.
So, I took some friend's advice and decided to try out a new bike seat. Dave and I have decided to demo the ISM Adamo racing seat. Dude, it looks so weird, but with it's shortened length and cut out, I think it will take pressure of my privates and Dave's as well. :) The demo has already been sent. I'm looking forward to trying it out and will report back with my findings.

oh you signed up for an ironman??? AWESOME! Which one??? ... I probably missed that along the blog somewhere. Good luck!!!
I signed up for IM Louisville.
I'm excited for your IM Lousiville experience! Yes, a new saddle is a good idea. I got one with cut-outs and it helped. You want something that works for all the time you'll spend training & racing on it! I hope the new ones fit better.
The cushy shorts help me! =)
