Something isn't right. Normally going to the drops isn't doing anything other than getting your head down to reduce wind resistence.

I suggest taking your bike to a LBS with a knowledgable fitter and take a look at your position. If seat tube angle is a problem, it could be anything from the wrong seatpost, too short a stem, or the wrong size frame.
