    Unfortunately on a TT or Tri bike this can be more difficult to acheive as you are in a position that is intentionally leaning far forward (onto aerobars). Many people who can tolerate and even like a non-cut out saddle on their regular road bike find that it is necessary on their TT bike. It is possible to be comfortable on a TT/Tri setup, you just may have to work at it a little harder and remember that any bike on a trainer is harder on your bits than being out on the road. If your wokout is long, take some breaks - get off and walk around - if you can't get off at least stand up out of the saddle every once in a while, sit up with your hands on the tops of bars during rest intervals, etc, get the get the blood flowing and rearrange your sitting position a bit.
