Good for you! Sounds like you did a great job, despite the saddle discomfort (to which I can TOTALLY relate...). What is it about we TTer's? There is no pain...

And I think you did wonderfully in the crit as well. Corners are tough for me too, but I am getting much better at them. You know, you and I are the right build and have the right strengths to do well in crits - it's just a matter of getting over some of the psychological fears.

Good luck next weekend. Can't wait to read about your results!
