How bad is 4:25ish for 3km track TT from standing start?
Reading track league pursuits (4131m) are led this year with a 5:14, 47.3km/h. Your 4:25 for 3000m is only 40.7km/h. You might find an extra 2km/h by throwing new equipment at the problem, but that still leaves you with a 10% speed gap to make up, and that's just at local league level.

Considering: riding on drops, non-profile profile 3kg wheels, 50x15 99-100 rpm, outdoor wood velodrome.
I'm thinking about racing the regional track champ and not sure if it'll be worth to buy Aero/tt bars
