Hi all!
SHORT VERSION:
Any comments about my fit would be appreciated. I am comfortable in my current position, and I will be racing 70.3 and 140.6 in the next year, so comfort will be important. I can maintain this position for a full (with some sitting up for climbing). But I want to make sure Iām not giving anything away in the aerodynamics department. Iām fairly flexible and my next full isnāt for 11 months (July 2018) so I have some time to experiment and get used to a new position.
Below I have a link to a video that includes slo-mo plus some static photos (taken while I was not pedaling). Also some measurements taken from the photos.
Any comments on improving my fit are highly appreciated. Thanks!
MORE DETAILED VERSION:
This fit was āapprovedā by two separate fitters, but from my time on Slowtwitch I see that a lot of fitters are not necessarily into optimizing aero/power. Iāve been riding this set-up for a few years and am comfortable, but I want to see if I can make any improvements. My back is pretty flat, so Iām not sure what might need to be done.
Fixing my fit now is good timing, because Iām looking to clean up my front end. I was planning on getting a new stem (Profile Design Aeria Ultimate), removing a bunch of spacers and pedestalling the aero pads (60 mm). But if Iām going to do that I figured I might as well see about improving my fit at the same time. I have done all of the measurements and calculations for my new front-end set-up and can keep pad stack/reach virtually the same (within a few mm) or adjust them by installing slightly different hardware depending on the ST recommendations for fit.
I am pretty flexible. I can put my palms flat on the floor when bending at the waist (no knee bending). But I want a position I can hold for a full tri. I can hold this current position that long.
Here is a link to a video that includes full-speed at 90 rpm, slow-motion of 90 rpm and some static photos (I wasnāt pedaling at all). The static photos are also posted here. I can also provide the measurements taken from:

Is there anything Iāve forgotten? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

P.S. if you say āyour seatās too highā as a joke, please put it in pink or something!

static photos, no pedaling:
Although the webpage tells me they are uploaded as inline attachments, I can't seem to upload the photos. Hopefully the stills in the video will suffice. I'll see if I can fix that and upload them here.
