My sitbones fell directly on the seam in front of the widest part of the chamois and the chamois ended up nearly covering my sitbone, even if I tried yanking them up in the front. I&#39;m most fond of the PI Symphony Cut short (with the Elite 3D chamois)--same 6&quot; inseam as the SSS, but the chamois fits my shape better. It&#39;s also narrower through the crotch than a lot of other shorts, so it doesn&#39;t feel so bulky. Even 2 model years of the same short can have different chamois, as I found with the current Sugoi Evolution short and the version from a year or two ago. The new one is seamless, but much denser.Kirstenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08458929767561710888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553822359149865157.post-6445617031147744082010-02-24T16:15:48.431-05:002010-02-24T16:15:48.431-05:00Oh also padding in shorts vary a lot. I&#39;ve recently fallen in love with the Shebeest SSS shorts, after a long love affair with Pearl Izumi, I&#39;ve realized I can do better. Shebeest rocks.Kendrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02031477576688000275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553822359149865157.post-43889799910469178832010-02-24T16:14:44.256-05:002010-02-24T16:14:44.256-05:00Try tilting the seat differently. I like the nose being very slightly down personally. Or try a different saddle. The Specialized Jett is pretty good if you&#39;re mostly riding the hoods. (a lot of people love this saddle. It&#39;s similar to the men&#39;s Taupe, and kinda similar to the women&#39;s Ruby gel saddle, but a little cheaper.) Jett and Ruby come in different widths too.<br /><br />If you&#39;re riding aero, try the Adamo racing saddle (which comes in hot pink). http://www.ismseat.com/products_racing.htm I like those saddles because there&#39;s not just a dent in the middle, there&#39;s a cutout. No pressure on the middle down there.Kendrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02031477576688000275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553822359149865157.post-51853792262289036072010-02-24T13:25:31.500-05:002010-02-24T13:25:31.500-05:00I have the pink skirt from running skirts.

You know Danica (Chic Runner) ran the Malibu Marathon in a pink tutu a couple months ago ... she blogged about it on her site.<br /><br />You might want to read her post before going with the tutu ... It didn&#39;t sound like a lot of fun - think CHAFFING (I&#39;m sure you will rock it whatever way you decide).<br /><br />The bike seat will get better - I&#39;m now up to 1:15:00 before I start to get sore on teh trainer - used to be 45:00 .... so it does get better, but I agree. Those padded shorts don&#39;t do it for me either - I think I just have a skinny little butt.<br /><br />Best from Austin!

Pretty soon I&#39;ll be breaking speed records all over the place.<br /><br />I too, get a wooden butt when I&#39;m on a bike too long, and it makes me walk like I&#39;ve been horse riding too long.<br /><br />http://www.momshomerun.blogspot.comNicole Orriënshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02061262281050363451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553822359149865157.post-58305831224252812982010-02-23T17:35:42.484-05:002010-02-23T17:35:42.484-05:00Yeah, slow-slow running is tough.

I too am running the Disney Princess Half -- in a pink running skirt....Nike has tons of cute HOT pink running skirts. There are lots of different shades of pink, some are tennis skirts, but they all have like a short inside in them and make the perfect running skirt! Have a great run!Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046118065774082253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553822359149865157.post-74987370532197693082010-02-22T14:08:42.808-05:002010-02-22T14:08:42.808-05:00The Haute pink is a grown up princess pink. I have the camo with pink sides. I&#39;d love a skirt in that pink. Or you could make yourself a tutu, if you&#39;ve got time. http://www.ehow.com/how_2072479_nosew-tutu.html<br /><br />I find it uncomfortable to run at a super slow pace.

It will probably take you 4-6 to notice your zone 2 speed increasing, but then you will have concrete &quot;results&quot; for your hard work. I run in zone 2 for all of my runs except speed work and I&#39;ve noticed some huge improvements. keep it up!Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553822359149865157.post-50014530240854930552010-02-22T10:06:47.014-05:002010-02-22T10:06:47.014-05:00Hope you find the perfect pink!Triciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16665644808858115598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553822359149865157.post-62479102782056785492010-02-22T07:40:08.109-05:002010-02-22T07:40:08.109-05:00I&#39;m doing the Princess 1/2 at Disney too...

I struggle with zone 2 too, but I really need to figure out how to get my Garmin to beep at me when I go too high!! Much easier than checking every minute!<br /><br />As far as the saddle goes, if you are using the trainer for now, I would go with a cycle short over tri shorts. Once you get outside, it gets a lot better because you will move around a little more instead of just sitting in one place for 90 minutes. Oh, and some good lube does wonders...I like Aquaphor. Good luck!!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13644588588023623372noreply@blogger.com
