As mentioned you will often have to move your seat position, which will affect your pedaling.
When in the TT position you will use your glutes a lot more, if you were to try this weekend, I would imagine you would be drastically slower due to using muscles you are not used to using.
Agreed, you need to get your body accustomed to riding with aerobars. Save it for another time, but I do recommend getting them. Good luck!
