Perineal Numbness otherwise known as "Numb-nuts". I found out last night that there have been studies into the effects of long-distance riding on bike seats for males. The biggest effect is erectile-dysfunction, not fun. There are a few bike-saddle makers that have some products out there that lessen the effect of numbness.
Specialized has a line of products called "Body Geometery" which helps apparently, but these saddles range from $80+ or so. (http://www.specialized.com/bodygeometry)
Serfas has a line called, "RX Saddles". They range from $70+. (http://www.serfas.com/rx_saddles/index_rx.shtml)
Not sure which does better job. I will purchase a Serfas one after I get off my lazy ass and make some money. heh.
Stay tuned.

8/26/2007 - Training day (#who knows?)
I suck. But not anymore!
Switched out my long-run day with a long-bike day since I haven't been on the bike for a few times or atleast for the length I was supposed to be. I might need to get fitted a little better on it. My wrists hurt due to the position -- not sure if it thats normal or not.
144 minutes
37miles (damn traffic lights)
2107 calories
