So I am an idiot.
Ahead of Severn across my comfy Altura shorts were getting a bit worn and I decided to replace them with a fancy pair of Castelli bibshorts. I wore these for about a week of commuting ahead of SA (washing them each night, one is not an animal) and they seemed fine.
I set out for SA with them on, but brought my old shorts with me, just in case.
At second checkpoint, after all the rain I thought "I am going to change into my old shorts" but when I looked at them they were soaking wet so didn't.
I then, of course, got a blister on my arse. Not infected but still a bit uncomfortable and with a 600 to do in just over a week.
I am just cross with myself. And I want new bibs.
