hi. this is me on my road bike-turned tt bike. i'm 5'10, long torsoed, with approx. equal tib-fib vs femur length. my background is in running, so if i err on the side of high saddle-ness, that's why. i am a high cadence rider. the mountain pedals and shoes are being replaced as we speak (with the appropriate adjustments coming to the saddle height as well). the saddle is slammed back, with the tip 5 cm behind the bb. first test ride felt good--pretty stable and quite aero (if you can 'feel' aero, that is).
One question is--when i rode this way, i tended to slide a tiny bit towards the nose of the saddle (which i know is common in an aero position). my question is that if i'm supposed to be "slammed" back on the saddle, should i tilt my saddle slightly nose up to prevent the forward slide (and maintain the slam aero-ness), or should i be happy if my body is cool on the saddle nose (and possibly lose some aero).

any input is VERY appreciated.
