Then forget the TT helmet for her. It won't help and will probably hurt. Just make sure that you stay low and get as much of an aero advantage as you can. And you can quote me as a UF engineering prof for why you need a might new aero helmet and she doesn't. (PM me and I will explain it to her free of charge if it becomes an issue. Not a professional courtesy, but a bike racer courtesy.)
