I'll add my vote to going out and training in your tri shorts. I've done 100 plus miles in mine and like Tri Girl I am uncomfortable with more padding now.

I read somewhere a while back that the more you have going for you under your butt, the more you're in for a painful ride. The wider the seat, the more padding you have, etc., the more it's going to hurt.
I always pooh-poohed this advice, I loved having extra gel everywhere, and then I got into triathlons and somehow ended up trading in shorts with more and more padding for those that had less and less. And my saddle got smaller. Suddenly, I realized that all of that anticipation over what could have been was over nothing.
Now I ride in LG tri shorts that have just a little shammy and even on century rides, I'm fine. I never, ever would have thought it possible...
