Managed a season best tonight (26:16) but still 10secs of my pb and I had to lose skin to do that!

Doesn't sound too pleasant!

It was my own mistake so easier to digest. I was 15s up on the pb up for the first 7miles but started to fade, after another mile it had fallen to 11sec up at 8miles.
I then an unbelievably bad penultimate mile, which had me 14secs down. Tried to recover it too much in the last few hundred metres and experienced a front wheel wobble. Tried to recover it a few times but eventually ran out of tarmac and put it down :-/ Thanks everybody for the concern; after a few showers it's cleaned up nicely and I can clearly see a lot of road rash but no bumps or bruises. Net result I was 10secs down on a pb. Mind me not to sprint in the tt bars.

Sorry to hear that.
On the TT that I punctured I think there were 4 DNF's through punctures, one of which lost control and crashed heavily on a fast twisty section. He is ok though battered and bruised, cracked his Dolan scala frame though, he's already replaced it, they've done him a half price deal on a new frame.
Just shows how easily it is to get all pear shaped when you're on the limit and fatigued.

Yikes now that is nasty, glad he's ok; I've just lost skin.
A wee bit OT a mate of mine up north p'tured on a 25miles TT and lost it by 3secs

greetings folks! the only tt i've done so far was a winter 10, on an inappropriate bike in 29:10. however i've signed up for a 24hr tt in merseyside and just about finishing putting together a tt bike (halfords carrera, ahem).
currently my challenges are: nutrition/hydration, pacing, staying in an aero position for a long time, organising a support for the day (where do i start?). so far i've received some great advice from frank9755, but further thoughts and insights are very welcome and appreciated!
p.s. i've ridden many long audaxes in the past few years, therefore endurance is not an issue - the main objective of this 24hr tt is to ride it in the most efficient way without making many mistakes and getting the highest mileage for my current level of fitness.

I'm typing on my too small to type pocket neo so apologies if there's typos but I wanted to share my last night's pb. 26.03 a bit of a rough edge perfomance (too much sitting up) so there is room for improvement but I'm happy with it :-) https://www.strava.com/activities/633478738
10/10 for spelling & 11/10 for the PB
