Exactly. That is the position you have adapted to. A 24hr TT is a rather extreme test and the absolute smallest shift can result in stress and through overcompensation quckly morph into injury. Its not necessarily a position that is optimal for your performance (aerodynamics, power, VO2Max, etc.) nor even one to minimize risks to injury. Its, however, the position that you are adjusted to and to which the muscles in your body and your brain are tuned to. Can one improve on the position? Perhaps. Perhaps not. That is, however, not the question...
