Maybe a saddle that gives you more pelvic rotation that will also increase your reach. That's should flatten out ur low back and help with your back pain( at least it does me) but it looks good otherwise.

Just my 2¢

Thanks Fishbum! I'll wait more responses to do another iteration of changes!

Looks good.

Looks good to me, functionally and aerodynamically... if you can hold that head position and see where you are going. Some knowledgeable people have said that arms tilted up that much might not be aerodynamically ideal, but you'd need to test.

looks good.

my only nit to pick is that you raised your hands in and of themselves, but you did not add reach. You're not helping yourself there and perhaps are creating a situation that is slower at yaw. Instead of just raising your hands, add reach and then let your hands go where they may... ie. the point of high hands isn't the high hands, it's the more open shoulder angle, the shrugged and streamlined shoulders, and a platform to lean into the tilt of your aero bars (which you should have if you already don't).

I also have low back pain and as others have said, a more neutral lower back angle, ie. a rotated pelvis combined with more reach, really helps with that. I'd try a saddle that facilitates that.

So to sum up... MOAR REACH.

what race distances are you doing?

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I may be learning one thing or two with my time spent here in ST =D.

Eric thank you for the explanation regarding the tilting, the only thing that I can do to add more reach is to move just the pads forward and I'll try that.

This year I did 4 x olympics and 2 x 70.3, but next year I'll focus on shorter distances only.

Have a nice week!
