Yeah, besides, that 'test' is crap, WAY too many variables. Meaningless, i.e., perfect for the 41.

But here's an observation: I'm slow, when I do TT's my time puts me in the middle of the Cat 5's, lower half of the 4's, etc. So compared to guys that are Cat 2/Cat 3 and have some talent, they're going to crush me in a TT. But in my last TT that had a separate cannibal division, my time (on my Cannondale TT rig) was faster than all but 3-4 of the 20+ cannibal entrants, who were riding regular road bikes. So on my TT bike, I'm as fast as a good Cat 3 on a regular road bicycle on the same course. Like I said, I think the TT bike/aero helmet gives you like +2 mph over a regular road bike
on a flat course, less on a rolling to hilly course.
