Yes, but it helps to have good equipment like this:

The secret is doing interval training at 5-10% above your proposed time trial speed. Another secret is to not focus on the pain. Think about your grip, your pedaling technique and cadence, your position on the bike, the joy of finishing with a new PR or podium appearance. Also, a good warm-up is mandatory in a TT, because you go to an extremely hard effort immeidately which requires a good warm-up. I warm up for a solid hour just for a 5KM TT. BTW, for time trialing, a pair of clip-on aero bars will make a big difference (for those who don't have dedicated TT bikes).

Here are some good training tips:
