In the early days when I started to do longer and longer rides I remember complaining to a mate about having a headwind going out and coming back...he said "you need to eat...you're running out of energy."

But apart from that, as others have said get aero...its about the cheapest thing you can do on a bike to go faster...get in the drops and stay there (or stay there for as long as your back will let you).
