I'm going to have to find a way to open my hip angle up even more. I've tried most stuff but I may need to alter my position a lot, which is going to mean going backwards in terms of aeroz.
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?

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.

No, I shouldn't have bothered. I only rolled around because I couldn't get off the Awhatever.
I was tired to begin with with the start time, still sore from gym and my left leg numbness came back and fucked up any chance of staying tucked for the race and after 10-20mi my head was out of the game and I gave up.

Bit annoying that after resigning myself to not DNFing I was still DNFd. At least I don't have a time to haunt me. That course would be fast if I could ride it clean though - I was sat up and rolling along at 26mph without trying. Weeeee
