For a large portion of the last 18 months, I've had issues with being comfortable on my bike. In general, but, for this thread, specifically the saddle. I switch from an Adamo to the Fizik Tritone. Generally, I like the saddle, but I've still had comfort issues, especially within the last 2 months that I've been on the trainer. The discomfort may just be from the static nature of the trainer as I was able to get through an IM this summer on the saddle without any problems. That is irrelevant to this thread however.
During this time frame, I've also been at the heaviest weights I ever have been. I've been wondering if the extra weight I've been carrying (as of 1/1/15 I was 195, whereas my first 70.3 in 2011 was done at 170) is causing some of the discomfort on the saddle. Does this make any sense? Has anyone ever read anything regarding this? Anybody experienced a similar problem?
I've decided to cut my trainer times down to only 60 mins, and the max I would do would probably be 80-90 mins. I really wanted to put in good miles this winter but it almost doesn't seem worth it anymore as I've had some numbness and sensitivity issues.
