[quote=Anonymous]Experienced triathlete here. I agree that the saddle is your biggest issue. When is the ride? If you can get yourself slowly conditioned between now and then that would be best. Does your gym have spin bikes? That should work. If not, try to get in as much time on a bike between now and then as possible. I do recommend bike shorts (Bike Nashbar is a good source for less expensive options). The padding will help a little but it won't make it painless. Body glide will work for chafing but even better is chamois cream. It is awful to put on (you squeeze a generous amount into your shorts and it feels gross when you pull them up) but it will work much, much better than glide. For your training rides and the day off, you will probably be more comfortable overall if you sit back on your sit bones rather than lean forward. It is somewhat counterintuitive but I think you will have fewer issues this way and much less chafing. [/quote]
