Question-- Elbow Fatigue and Hand Numbness

Okay, so I'm new to the world of riding a dropped bar bike, and went out for a 10 mile ride today. I noticed that my elbows got really stiff and sore while riding, and also that my hands would start to go numb if I kept them in any given spot on the bars for too long. Is there something I'm doing wrong technique wise, or does some of this come with being a clyde (I'm 240lb, 5'10") and having that extra weight on the hands and elbows while riding? Any insight would be great!
