I have thought about the TCR for a few years, it's also the only way I can bike pack across Europe as I've suggested cycling to places in Spain instead of flying and my GF looks at me like I've killed a kitten but she will be happy for me to do an event so let's see. I definitely won't rush back to racing 2kms in a boat so will do more some cycling races. I'm more competitive with myself than with others so will either ruin myself to win or I'm just content with finishing.

Would be great to see you take on TCR after this.
If you're competitive with yourself you would perhaps get a decent buzz out of just squeezing out the best performance that you can, even if you don't win. You could have a personal target, like "complete the race within x days" or "finish in the top 15".
Either way, LEJOG will probably give you some insights.
I imagine you would be in good shape to do an ultra race (TCR, TABR, SRMR etc.) after this challenge. Have you considered it? Good going by the way!
