Even at 125lbs you should be able to keep up by drafting so my guess is you need to work on positioning. Try putting your chin just above the stem, squeeze the top tube with your knees and tuck your arms in. Some guys hold onto the tops on either side of the stem. You will need to experiment a little but just riding in the drops isn't the optimal position.
