Well I do alot of time on the bike so maybe I am not missing anything. I know how you feel just to be competative in a cat 3/4 race I have to ride/train 20hrs a week others do half that and run rings round me. Lots of very long rides planned to get used to what I need to eat and how much.
I have tried aerobars but I never felt comfortable on them spent a good while trying to get used to them and was so nervous I ended up being slower overal than on my road bike. Add then the nasty crash caused by being in the position with all the restricted visibility that brings and no one will ever get on the things again. Beside the challange is how many miles I can do on a road bike in 24hrs not how many miles I can do with all the wind cheating tricks.
