Yeah, it felt a little strange the first time I ever had somebody hold me up to start a TT. It's kind of cool though becuase you get all clipped in and ready then power off the line. I stand too for the first few strokes. Oh also be sure you are in the gear you want to start in before you get to the line. My first TT I was not. I thought I was on my 52 ring to start and half way through I noticed I was on my 42. Needless to say I lost a lot of speed and time with that mistake. I also fell off the course into the gravel and lost time getting back onto the pavement. Of course it had to be a two inch drop and jump to get back on.
