That's not really going to be an issue.

Due to needing to take the fairing past the wheels(so that I could both make tight turns and split the frame easily when needed) I think there is way too much frontal area.

But less drag due to the wheels and a simpler body design ... everything is a trade-off.

The other thing I'm not thrilled with is how low I had to bring the fairing to the ground to clear my feet.

It's a design issue on all velomobiles.
Using holes for the heels is an option (see velomobiel.nl) to lift up the lower body, but it too introduces more drag - .
The holes are doubling as ventilation in summer, but letting the cold in during winter - some folks have covered them with bulged fairings, but these scrape the ground.
