Remember though TTs are against the clock, not the powermeter.
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.

If you're not concerned with time and it's TCR training then wouldn't it be prudent to race on the TCR bike?
Jealous. I've started really hard in both 25s then backed off but not enough, then something's gone wrong and I'm doing 600W while looking at the meter thinking "don't do it dickhead" but being too grumpy to back off, then I'm doing 200W thinking "5 hours in the car for this you idiot" and then it's ok but not great.

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.
