I did my first 10-mile TT on Sunday. I was reasonably happy with a time of 28'22" for my first outing, coming 12th in a field of 40. Obviously I could with some tri bars, to get my position more aero, but is there anything else I should think about?

Would having a pre-tied bow tie make a difference?

No, no. no! You should know by now that cummerbunds are out and silk waistcoats are de rigour!

Rapha are bound to do them!
Did you use aero cufflinks? Also, a bit of a cheat but I find it helps if you don't break the stitching open on the jacket pockets.0 -
No, but the ones I used were recommended as having better power transfer.Pross wrote:Did you use aero cufflinks?
But unless you've done that you've got nothing to put your snot in. Basic mistake.Also, a bit of a cheat but I find it helps if you don't break the stitching open on the jacket pockets.0 -
this is a classy first effort.
i suspect you may have gone faster if you rode in your pants. this happened to a chap at the chippenham ten last year.
