That's because we've already done lots already to open it up - 165mm cranks, adjusted saddle height and fore/aft, etc. So it might not be extreme but we still don't know what is causing this so it could be that years of doing stupid long miles in a TT position has fucked my arteries/veins/nerves in the hip flexor area (O'Grady and some other pros have had surgery for the artery thing).
I don't remember it being an issue during the 25 whereas it was 2 years ago so perhaps duration in aerobars is a factor (TABR). My excess body fat is and large thighs are probably contributing factors and my clotty blood probably isn't helping. Basically, I'm fucked and need to pick another sport.

That's odd, because (assuming I've correctly identified you from the photos) your hip angle doesn't look that extreme. What length cranks are you running?
