On the topic of pacing, I've never had to learn to pace. It's just something that happens automatically for me. I don't even have to think, I just ride hard and my body rides in the right place naturally. Interesting that other people have to think about it.
But the principle of don't go to hard. Starting a TT your endocrine system is pumping and you'll not feel a single thing. A few mins later and you'll be paying for going to hard. If you think you're not going to hard, you're still going too hard!! This is the only time I'll use a powermeter really, to keep a lid on it for the first mile. Make it easier than guess where the lid is and going too easy/hard.
