:) Hello and thank you for all the advice about the bike seats and bike shorts! Yesterday l participated on the Harbor Lights Triathlon in Waukegan, Ills. and had one of those gel seats and my padded shorts and let me tell you, it felt better. l came in second place in my age group (50-54) and my time on the bike was better than the last one. This is a great sport, one that l intend to do for a long time. Thanks again for all the suggestions. Maria
