You should also attack! You have some decent power. At your height, a lot of it may be about focusing on being aero so you can maximize your speed. At your level you should already be able to spend a couple (or a few) laps off the front and not have it end your race if you get caught. Learn how to attack by waiting for subtle changes in momentum and utilizing course features to your benefit. Some people will eventually realize that you're good to drive some pace and you might get a break going!
