You're already ahead. First time out this year on a similar gear (46/18), steel road bike, drops, no skinsuit, tractor tyres etc. I did 10 miles in 32:34
Fit drops, don't drink during the race (whatever your state of hydration at the start, drinking during a 10 isn't going to help during the race), gear up a bit, wear shorts and shave your legs. If you do all that and pin a number on, I'm predicting a 28
