Any of the experienced riders got any tips for novices like myself? For instance:
- Is it better to ride to speed, average speed, HRM, or how you feel?
- Is there a good place to warm up beforehand?
- Anything we should know about the course - e.g. inclines
- I plan to ride on my normal bike with no tri-bars and my 25mm Gatorskins. Is there anything that could give a cheap advantage - e.g. altering position. I thought of covering my helmet with cling-film (but that's the sort of thing I think about at weekends).

I wasn't going to spend to much money or effort on improvements for two reasons: 1) because I might hate it and 2) because if I don't hate it, it will make it much easier to improve my time.

A balaclava would be OK, but I was considering a gimp mask - although it might interfere with breathing
