I've been sporting a new ride (P2C) for a few weeks now. Its my first tri bike and this aero position is new to me. Had a fit done on it so it should be ok fit wise. But didn't ask the males at the LBS the following questions, not necessarily out of embarrassment, but I figured they weren't so familiar with the way us ladies are built.
1. Where exactly should my weight be when in the aero position?
2. If the answer is "entirely on your pubic bone as opposed to your butt bones" (which seems to be the case with me)- does this EVER get comfortable. I came off a 3.5 hour ride thinking there is now way I could endure this pain for 112 miles.
3. Does it just take time to get used to this?
So, those of you with the "perfect seat" does that mean it never hurts, or just hurts less? So far I've been riding in bike shorts-I can't imaging doing this in tri shorts for a HIM!
Yes I have a woman's saddle.
