Shin splint type pain
When I'm in a Time Trial position until I get warmed up I get a pretty strong shin splint type pain in my right leg. I'm sure it's probably a position thing, wondering if anyone else has had that. So you could say oh yeah had that, moved my seat forward a bit and much better, or something like that.

Stretching is likely to help.
Also check your form. Make sure you are not dropping your heel and/or lifting your toes (dorsiflexion) on the downward pedal stroke. This can cause shin spints on the bike. You may need to look at bike fit for this.
