10mile time trial...

Congratulations! Yea there is nothing like a good ride before a race to boost confidence. Even though I know I'm as fit as can be, and have just as good chance of winning as others, its easy to give yourself some doubt. Stay up front in your race, dont pull the pack, ride smart, good luck!

I wonder how much difference it would make if I were riding with aerobars. I did it riding partly in the drops and partly on the tops, when climbing. I have a set of aerobars but I thought if I haven't trained with them, it would probably be counter productive.

Sounds like you had a good race. Just remember when you hit the road race that its a different beast. Its being comfortable in the pack and being able to deal with the surges that gets most people in their first races. TT is a steady effort, but road racing relies a lot on your ability to go hard and recover fast. Try to stay in the middle of the pack if you can - if you know you are slower on climbs try to get to the front before you hit the climb so you won't go off the back. Most of all try to relax and have fun - your first pack experience can be nerve wracking.
