I'm sure others either don't have this issue or know how to combat it. but i read somewhere to put Vaseline on the nose of the saddle. it really didn't click to why to do that until this past Sunday. i did remember the tape the gels to the top tube bit but completely neglected the Vaseline part. i realized why it would be used when i stood out of the saddle for the first time and the nose of my saddle was like Velcro on my tri suit. it was actually quite a nuisance for the climbs. i don't have a dedicated tri bike, so this was on my normal road bike.

It was my first sprint tri on Sunday and cannot wait for my next one. hopefully ill get my fat butt through the run portion faster next time
