Need help with watts and position

Triathlon Forum

i posted a pic of my new ride last week,a Kuota ride bike,im trying to get an aero as i can get on it for a race but something wierd happend.

basiclly i mesured my watts before the position change-in a regular road position without aerobars,and now after the postion change with the aerobars my watts average like 20 less then before and i can’t keep the fast cadence i was keeping in the road position.
in the road position i used to spin 140 rpm without alot of trouble but now i barely can spin faster then 120 rpm…

is my seat to high? to forward?

Sometimes when you change your position it takes a few rides before the watts come back up. Also, you look like you might be just as low just riding in the drops. Maybe you should just go back to the road position you had before.
