Remember though TTs are against the clock, not the powermeter.
All my PBs are off less power than I used to make.
On the other hand I'm still getting a handle on pacing this year. All of the place compared to the old days when I could nail it.

That's true. And my PB at Hillingdon is off modest power on a fast night. But I'm not training to get a PB at Hillingdon, but to get in shape for TCR which I'll do on a different bike in different kit, etc.
One thing I was really pleased with was when I looked at my lap splits for Weds evening. First 10 laps were all within 3 seconds, or 2% (Started GPS late so missed the slower 15 seconds at the start). Then I emptied the tanks on the last lap and it was a bit faster.

No problem - I actually didn't even bother to look at my time at the end as I was so pissed off about the low power numbers! The Hillingdon TTs are just training rides for me so I don't get too attached to the time. Also the conditions vary a lot, so I generally focus on power as that is what I can control, and how I do relative to a few people who are usually a similar speed to me, and I usually know that based on whether they pass me or I pass them so don't need to know the times.
