Day three I think.
Really could have been avoided by using the UW ahead of time before a big trip. They just don't have quite the right fit for me. It's funny because I was actually trying to avoid issues by using a system that was uniform - padding that was the same regardless of shorts or tights, but chose two similar sets that did not quite fit. I would have been far better off with two different shorts that I knew worked for me.

It's a bit like hiking, most blisters being caused by lack of skin conditioning and poor shoe fit. You can avoid both by doing some shorter hikes ahead of time and not using new shoes that might rub the wrong way. But at the same time, one ought to always be able to address an issue that might pop up and that's usually early intervention. They don't talk about saddle sores in biking for nothing.
