:( This directed to all the women out there who ride bikes in Triathlons.
How can you prevent the total soreness between your legs (you know what l mean) after a long bike ride? l have noticed that l get so damm sore right down there when l go for long distances. l have a Triathlon this comming Sunday and l am still a little sore. Is there anything that I am doing wrong? Is it the seat? Is it the hight of the seat? Please, please, l need some feed back on this subject. l love doing this, but, my God! it hurts!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, fellow women Triathlets, give me some sugestions on this subject. l will for ever be grateful! l know that the bike seats are not the most comfortable ones in the world but this is so ridiculous. Also, l am going to buy some biking shorts, some with a little padding. The ones l ride with have no padding. Maybe this is the problem. l dont know. Any way, thanks for any information on this.

Maria,
Could be all of the above! Check the seat height -- when I bought my triathlon bike it was fitted at the shop. Check the type of seat -- the shop installed a not too expensive seat that had some gel in it. Also, gradually increasing the amount of time spent on the bike will decrease the soreness. Spending an unprecedentedly long time on the bike usually will result in soreness.
