I too will be doing my first TT's next year. Just finished building my bike from spare bits and bobs:

This year was all about my Marmotte mission, next year I'm going to be focusing on TT, so winter training will all be TT specific.
Nice steady winter, rideen NOT on a TT bike, harder stuff from mid-December, longer rides (2+hours for TT specific) for stamina and simply sitting on the bike, going to intervals by February. Don't bother with silly February races, too cold, too dodgy with surfaces, injuries likely from both. Ever thought of doing a bit of 'cross for variety? This helps bike handling (can be sadly poor with TTers) and stamina, plus it's quite good fun! Concentrate on a build phase and about a month before the fits TT you are intending to ride, start getting used to the TT bike position. 30 minutes at first will be more than enough,but you MUST be close to race speed after the first few sessions, to get your body used t high outputs in a very forced position. Best of luck!
