You can follow that theory but I think it can cause overheating.It doesn't appear she has a particular helmet sponsor, so there would be nothing preventing her from utilizing at least a "stealth aero" helmet like a Specialized Evade, a Giro Synthe, or an LG Course, all of which have plenty of venting.
The 3 minute estimate I made above was in respect to one of those types of helmets. Tack on another 1.5 minutes or so for a full aero lid...like the male and female winners both wore ;-)
