Hi there! I am new to the forum and appreciate any advice or comments you ladies can give me! A little background, I ride a Trek 1000 WSD with Look pedals and Shimano shoes. When I purchased the bike, the LBS did all adjustments with me on the bike on a trainer with my shoes and cleats. I feel that everything is set up pretty well fit-wise on the bike.

My issue is that when I ride I tend to point my toes at about a 45 degree angle to the ground instead of having my feet parallel to the ground on the bottom of the stroke. I find that it gets more pronounce as I get fatigued. What I would like to know is.... Is this normal? If not why am I doing it and how can I stop? I try to be conscious of not pointing my toes but it just feels like I have more power that way. I think I am actually losing power this way but I just can't stop!! I haven't noticed anyone else pedaling this way so I wonder if there is something seriously wrong with my technique.
