Best 40k, out and back, 23.5 mph (1:03:30, winning times were typically 51-53 min). Normal time was 1:06-ish.

Best 7 mile, out and back, 25.4 mph (16:28, winners usually got 14:05 or so which is 30 mph, no one broke 14:00). Normal time for me, meaning I never broke 17:00 except that one time, was 17:30-18:00.

Incidentally this is with all the aero doodads available to me. TT bike (steel tubed so very skinny), disk wheel with 17mm wide rim, TT helmet, skinsuit, no bottle or aero bottle, 24" front wheel, 17mm tires F&R, TT bars… I even trained on the bike regularly. it's pretty demoralizing just how slow I go even with the doodads.
