The behind the seat carrier that I had mounted to the rails of the saddle. Something like that might work for you. I am pretty sure I have this one.

Hey, seems I'm always getting help from you-Thanks! Would I then mount something like a profile design aqua rack on that?

I'm not sure what the profile design aqua rack is :) But with that behind the seat mount you just attach regular water bottles. Here and here are shots of it set up on my old bike.
And no prob... I just tend to post a lot ;)

That's why we're here :) You just have to pay it back by sharing your tips and info to others coming up against similar problems.

Another possible option is the Hydrotail, it mounts in the same way but is just made by another company. I think it runs about $100 so it is kind of expensive.

I just purchased a neverreach system http://www.neverreach.com/page/page/276159.htm
I haven't used it yet but I'm very excited about it. Provides all the benefits of the aerobar mounted bottles (being able to drink and not leave aero position) with the best aerodynamics of any bottle on the market (their claim, I haven't researched it). Add in the fact that it holds ~3x as much as a standard water bottle (64 ounces) and refills more easily while riding than any other product I've seen and you get a worthwhile purchase in my opinion.

I saw a guy with one of those neverreach systems on his bike at a race I did this year.
He was warming up on his trainer and the hose that comes out of the water container was running through is legs, along the top tube of the frame. Well my wife did not see the rest of the tube running up between the aerobars, and she seriously thought that is was a container to store the guys pee while he was on his bike. I got a good laugh but every time I see one of those now, that is all I can think of because it does kind of look like that a first glance.
Let me know how you like that. I would seriously consider getting one of those.

With the neverreach I'm not sure I'm convinced it is easier to refill while riding, especially in a race. A regular bottle cage behind the seat seems it would be easiest as you could just put in a new bottle. Anything else would involve opening the new bottle and holding it in place while pouring in the contents. For a training ride it seems cool to me (the amt of storage in particular), but I'm not sure I'd find it helpful while racing.
That said, one of the factors in the new tri bike I bought was that I liked having 2 frame bottles, eliminating the need for behind the seat anything for now.

I have a compact frame and cannot get 2 large bottles on my frame either. I use the one kylie showed you :)
Works great.

A bit on the cheaper side, I use this one by Minoura. A saddle bag will fit underneath, but I just put a mini wedge bag in one of the cages. for some reason the bag strap that goes around the seat post wears holes in my shorts!
I recently purchased a small QR seduza. I've got an aerodrink in front, and a regular cage, but I can only fit a small bottle in it. Since it has the triangular shaped seat post I dont think I can mount a rack on that. I guess the only option is side mount? Looking for suggestions.
