Subject: womens long distance tri shorts for the short girl
I know this has been a topic before, but it's a new year with new designs. The Desoto 400 miler were my favorite and they had to ruin them this year. They put forza into them and you have to buy the next size up. The next size up is too long for this shorty!

Can anyone suggest a long distance short similar? I need a 7 inch inseam or less

I've done one IM in a tri specific short and the next in the 400 miler. The 400 miler saved me. The tri short had me hurting at mile 80. I need to invest in another pair this year.

I went from the 400-mile short to the Forza Riviera tri short... wore them for an IM last July and loved them. I can't find the inseam measurements on their web site though.

I'm pretty sure my DeSoto Carrera shorts are 6in inseam, and they do make them in 3in also (I think).  I did my last IM in them without any problems.

The first time out and 50 meters in my oxygen was in very short supply. I realized that all that running didn't do much for this sport.
