- .5 for shorts that are too short too short?! Tan lines are dumb! That way when I swim in my speedo there aren’t as many super pasty inches of leg

I've since gotten a new saddle and raised it about 2-3cm with better hip rotation so even more aggressive now but no pics of it in action yet. This is my 70.3 fit. I wouldn't be able to hold it for a full but no plans on that distance for a year at least. Certainly not the best position on slowtwitch but still improving. Stay tuned for pics from Indian Wells 70.3

It appears to me that if you put your head lower you wouldn't be able to see down the road.

James would you mind posting a pic of your position again? A++ if I remember correctly. It's a very good example...

It usually comes down to neck strain but with my new position I feel much more natural and am doing all my trainer rides in aero now. My "current" FTP of 308w was set through a 20min test with about 6 minutes in aero and 14 minutes sitting up. I recently did a 3x30min workout @ 262, 277, 290 for each 30min, completely in aero which I think shows huge improvement for my power output in aero. Here are some videos I just took of the slightly modified position:

Well I raised the seatpost, so to be fair thats not the same thing with a new saddle. Looking at these videos it doesnt seem way different but its way more comfortable.

or, the lower % of your FTP that you're riding at the lower you should go, and the longer you're out there on the course the more aerodynamics matters. Leave no stone unturned.
Whaaaaaaat??!
