I think it is slightly different for everbody and with different bikes, and aero bar combinations.
Was the person who did the Serrotta fit also F.I.S.T certified? Have they had some experience?
I am sure if they are qualified and you are comfy, then you should be okay.
If you paid for the fitting, or got the fitting with a bike you bought, they should not have a problem with fine tuning your fit if needed.
Nothing to it, but to do it

I'd recommend gettting a second opinion on your bike fit. Not to bash whoever fit you, but everyone has an opinion regardless of their TT background or knowledge.

Weary is the path that does not challenge.

Hello!When one is in the aero positon on an aero bike (P2C), and you look down at your tire. What should you see....the hub. I do see the hub, and a bit behind it as well. So i'm wondering, am i perched too far foreward?
(I feel very...out there....like one of those carved wooden women on the bow tip of an old sea vessle (except i'm male, much less inspirational, and would never be selected to guide people into uncharted waters).
All the same, i've had a serotta fit, and have the bike appropriately tuned in. I'm getting to know this new bike, and it feels comfortable at 1.5 hours duration (longest so far). I will keep ramping up the hours, but was curious about what someone w/ an "experienced good fit " would see.Thanks
Do you have a pic from the side with you on the bike?
You want to look like this:

Its really going to spend on how you are fit on the bike, how you are perched on the saddle, and exactly howq your fit was acheived.
If you ride in a forward position, and are on the nose of the saddle, like in the picture above, you might just be looking down in front of the hub. Other acceptable fits will have you in a variety of positions. There is definately no one right thing you will see. Road bike fits are done on a more narrow spectrum, and such, people can come up with things like "the front hub should be obstructed by the handlebar." Those things simply dont hold true on tri bike.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.
