At some.point you will just have to hold the speed and get used to the energy output.

But as for fit you can set you bike up to allow you the most comfortable aero position if you try out different heights and lengths on your bars and seat , i have a madone and its just fine , I do plenty of 100 mile rides on it 1000 miles a month , but it's set up for me so just do that and if your not going off road get a better road bike or convert an old tt bike , get creative with it 😶
This is good advice. I have a teammate who races road on his CX bike. He just switches wheelsets and goes.
