I'd have to clean it prematurely
Definitely don't do that. hisses at pressure washer
Going under the hour seems relatively easy now, going under 50min is causing me some issues. I just don't have the time to aero test, I've run out of ideas for things to optimise and I've not made any power gains for the last 5 years so I doubt I will now.
If it was an oversubscribed open and you were pissing about, people might take issue, but then there's people who enter and don't turn up because the wind isn't right direction so you'd hardly be setting a terrible precedent. If I want to set a PB on my MTB and I've paid the entry so be it, I reckon.

Yeah, I thought about doing that. It's caked in mud so I'd have to clean it prematurely though.
My secondary objective for this year was/ is to have a go at getting a decent 100 time, which means getting back on the TT bike.
Also I felt a bit nostalgic when I saw people going under the hour and catching myself thinking 'i used to be able to do that'
I think if I did a TT and had a really crap time I'd hate it. I'd use the TCR bike for a club event on amersham road where I'd ridden out but it seems a bit disrespectful to do it in an open.
