I rode 3x longer today, this helped alot. I have a Terry Butterfly tri gel coming in by mail and it should relieve that pressure even more, can't wait to be able to ride a longer distance, as my legs were always ready but the other part was not willing to sacrafice more then I had already dished out. 1 hour is all I could go before. I rode for 3 hours today. I am a bit tender because I had already riden for an hour when asked to move to lead pos. for him to see my form.
Yes! Having a pro fix your seat height makes a huge difference. From what fitters have told me, women tend to put the seat too high and men tend to put it too low. Your legs should never extend fully while pedalling.

Getting a full-up professional fit is expensive, but can really be worth it, especially if someone's having pain or discomfort they can't pin down.
