My main suggestion is to develop awareness as to how you sit on the bike. Maybe have someone take some video of you riding, both a side view and a rear view.
I was wondering this myself. I tend to use my right side harder as it is my dominate side. So maybe a little self awareness can do wonders. I do know on my ride I had the fatigue diminish at times and come back later. Maybe I forced myself to relax more and later on tensed up again.
