Anyone try the Oomph Distance Tri Shorts?

Chafing thing I learned from running marathons.....

use gel anti-persperant (sp?)

I know you didn't ask about what to do about chafing.....I just thought of it cause I used it yesterday. I've had a problem on longer rides in the hot weather because when my shorts are soaked with sweat the chamois edge rubs my thigh (this is not the seat) yesterday I dressed, was in a hurry and didn't see the body glide on the counter so grabbed the degree deoderant/anti-persperant amd rubbed that on....no problems.

I'm curious why you can't switch the seat?

Interesting tip. I'll stick to the body glide... unless I'm in a pinch like you were!

I would change seats, but the tri seat really is a bit too wide for me. On the tri bike I can get by on it because of being in aero position. But if I'm sitting up the extra width will be noticed.

I love the size and shape of my roadie's seat... it just needs more CUSHION on it. I did buy a cover for it, which gets a VERY LITTLE BIT Of cushion to it. But I need to have the bike refit to get it on there, as it raises me up just enough to make my legs not feel just right.

I guess I just need to put the cover on and get refit... eh? It's just so hard to find the time with all the training. But I know... I need do it.

Got it! I bought a new seat for racing this summer. It's 175g lighter than my regular seat. But I don't much like it for rides longer than 20 miles. It has hardly any cushion at all.

I don't have too much trouble with it except my sit bones feel bruised after too long.

I've switched back to my regular seat for the rest of the riding season (I don't have another tri planned for this year and I'm just a summer racer) guess the extra weight will just make me stronger

I'll be curious what you decide to do. I'm following your progress now. I'll probably be in Lou next year to cheer you on!

WOW! That would be so cool! The more people cheering for me the better! HA!
