Component Upgrade on new Madone 5.1?

Your only real concern would be triple vs double. Either is fine, a double shifts slightly better, and a compact double can give you much of the lower end a triple does, but you can race fine with either. You go just as fast on either!!

From experience I can tell you no - if you really wish to be in contention to win races, I would not recommend a triple. You very rarely see anyone race on them and there is a good reason. It seems like a small thing, and for a recreational ride it doesn't make any difference, but even the tiny bit of lag that you experience shifting up from the small ring on a triple can mean the difference between staying on the break or missing out. So you end up handicapping yourself by not riding in the small ring ever -that means your small ring is a 42 instead of a 39 (or a 36 if you use a compact).... (I had a 52-42-32). I looked into switching my old bike from a triple to a standard or compact and in the end I would have had to spend so much money that I just saved for a new bike. For a while I swapped my middle ring on the old bike to a 39 and locked out the small ring. I use a standard double now

A compact double should be fine. I know plenty of people who race with them, though you may someday miss that top end that you don't have with a compact, especially given that Florida is very flat and often windy. In a tail wind situation you may very well want to push a big, big gear.

As far as the rest of the bike goes, everything is fine as is. I know plenty of people who started racing on far less advanced bikes.
