Ran 14 Sunday and it was tough. My other "marathon trainees" were at a race on Sunday so I did the first 2 miles with everyone else and then split on my own to finish up. It was hot and humid but I carried a small bottle of water with me. I walked three times to drink water and "recover" and also in the end had one hill that I had to walk up. Overall was pleased, did 14 miles in 2:32..CANNOT wait for cooler weather..

Man Highland I am really sorry. Dont they make the cycle have to maintain a certain amount of distance in between? I know around here you cant even pass unless you can do it in 3 seconds or less. And you arent allowed to draft. Hopefully you recover quickly.

I am not sure what my work will be this week but i thought i would be nice and start it. My half ironman did not go as plan. Guy on bike hit me and damage my bike and I have hurt my tailbone real bad. i have other injuries but the tailbone is my concern. I can not even lift my left leg. I was over 45k when it happen. I had an amazing swim under an hour and my bike was going as plan. pretty upset i have never not finish a race. i was hoping to get the run in but i could hardly walk and it was real hot out and got told not to do it. pretty upset over it. everyone have a good week training
padded shorts help for those long rides believe me plus have you ever been fitted for your seat. yes they have ways of fitting your butt so you can get the right seat. it makes a big difference
Im not sure what else there is besides not getting a sore butt..lol..I have a bib with really good padding I bought from https://www.probikekit.com/spring-summer.list
Im not sure how far you are riding either. If you are riding like 10 miles or less, you prolly dont see a difference. You start riding 50 or more at a time, I think you will but , that just what I do...not sure what everyone else thinks. Also, it sounds like your saddle may be really good as well. That can affect how you feel on the ride as well. A cheap saddle really sucks on long rides regardless of what you are wearing.

I have riden both with and without padded cycling shorts, and am struggling to notice any obvious difference!
If I haven't riden for a while I'll get a sore rear end with or without padded shorts. If I've been doing a lot of riding I won't get sore whether or not I wear padded shorts.
Besides from the lack of seams in undesirable places what is the benefit of wearing padded shorts?
Any thoughts?
I spent 4 days in a cabin in Gatlinburg, TN with my wife for our 20 year anniv. We drove on Friday and got there in time to eat. Spent Saturday and Sunday doing various activities and then drove home Monday morning. Bottom line, 4 days of not-exactly exercise and very bad food. So today I knew it was back to the drawing board.
Everyone--- good luck this weekend on your races!!!!!
