Open question to anyone: On a flat road, decent surface, negligible wind, what is YOUR typical speed (within a range) when you are pushing 300 watts?You can answer that for a given CdA here:

So anyway around 26mph if your CdA is .25, which is probably a typical decent ironman setup CdA
My CdA is a bit lower than that for short TTs, and I'm at around 27.5mph @ 300 watts, on a hilly course with wind (but the wind may be affording a slight increase in speed in this case)
of course temperature alone can change this quite a bit. On a very hot day I can do that same 27.5 @ 285 watts, for instance.
