Public Water Fountain App?

That's probably 107% of FTP or so, so it's more like start at 95 and turn it up every couple miles and finish at maybe 110%. That would be a really hard one for me to pace without a power meter. My...

Intensity Factor / TSS on Garmin

The 810 does for sure, as does the 500 so I'd guess the 800 does as well. Just make sure your FTP is set appropriately and zero averaging is on.

ANT+ cadence/speed sensors recommendations

There's a Timex speed/cadence sensor where the two are separate and connected with a wire. Your shop should be able to get one for you.

My guess is you'll need both cleat angle adjustments and probably some shims. Your fitter should be able to get your knees to track straight and pain free.
