I love the idea of competing for places, but it's only fun if you are really fast, for most people it can be pretty demoralising. You feel like you did a great ride and got a course pb by 3 mins, but you come 89th.
In my opinion, beauty of TTing is that you can compete against yourself. Every year I try to better my own time on the E1/25 but also look at realistic ways to improve my PB on the fastest course I'm happy to ride on, and can reach from London.
