At Eastway, I never managed better than a long 24 on 81" fixed (without tribars - tried them, but not practised enough to manage them on such a technical circuit).
But I'm shit at TTing, and usually did short 26s. Being able to blast up Oxo (the main climb) and recover quickly was my secret weapon there. The proper testers would then fly past me in their aero tucks on the back straight doing closer to 40mph whilst I limped along at 32 or something.
