I realize some folks with low FTP can TT, but idk if it's just natural ability to be aero. I stayed in position the whole race, back low, helmet tail down, head low, somehow managed to do 285 watts with a 300w threshold, no TT work, and coming off a hard 4 hour road race. And only did 25 mph. Last year I went OTF solo in a crit from the whistle at 285 and almost 26 mph. Held it for 20 minutes til the break formed and 3 of us were gone. Makes me wonder if I should just TT in IAB and drop my head rather than keep the eyes up enough to keep a helmet tail flat.
