ow ow ow! new pain in the ...
Today I went mountain biking (my only kind of biking) with a couple of friends. We took on a tough trail and rode for about three hours. I didn't change shorts until I got home, which was a couple of hours later.
Now, I've had sitbone pain, I've had pressure and numbness, all of that stuff. But never, until today, have I had abrasions! Red, slightly puffy, extremely sensitive to touch. A bit on the, er, lips (that seems to have already mostly gone away, several hours later), a lot right where leg meets crotch.
I've showered, applied baby powder, and am staying in the house wearing, at most, a wrap-around skirt.
This has never happened before. I'm wondering what might have been different today. Maybe I didn't pull my shorts up quite high enough? I definitely remember some chafing throughout the ride.
Anyone else have uncharacteristic abrasions where the sun don't shine and figure out what was different that day?
