Use your power meter to refine your position on the bike. Ride repeatedly along the same stretch of road in the same direction in different positions at an Endurance pace effort. Try keeping your elbows and knees in versus letting them take their comfortable position. Try shrugging or hunching your shoulders, bending the elbows more deeply, lowering your head and anything you can think of to change your aerodynamics. The position that gives you the highest speed at the same power, or the lowest power at the same speed is your ideal position. If you are not comfortable in your ideal position, talk to your coach about improving your bike fit so that the bike supports you in a better position. Of course some positions will not be accessible to some riders due to individual limits of flexibility and strength. You'll need to try each position several times to average out effects of changing wind and other variables.

"Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do." - John Wooden, Coach of the 10-time NCAA National Champion UCLA Bruins
