Seriously a 50-82 second difference over 40km is significant. I'd say similar would apply for hairy arms too.
For sure ^ And hairy arms have the added (?) factor of being perpendicular to the airflow - so to my mind, a possibly amplifying the resistance effect? (like cells in series, vs cells in parallel). but my reasoning might be flawed.
