Like many 50 something men I have an enlarged prostate that becomes inflamed during long rides. Normally not a huge problem, but at IMLOU I ended up in the ER post race because I could not urinate after about a third of the way through the bike. I have done a few 70.3's with like symptoms but have been able to get through the races without major complications...this was my first and hopefully not last full IM. I've been riding on the stock saddle that my Felt B14 came with--an Evo Tri 40 Prologo. Not a bad saddle from what I've read but it's clearly not working for me. I'm looking into the split nose saddles and am hoping others who have gone through this might have specific recommendations. I did have a professional fit when I purchased my bike, but have later learned that saddles can be angled in a certain way and that there are other adjustments one can make to the fitting to help alleviate direct pressure on the prostate. Thanks everyone for their thoughts.
