Converting Your Time Trial  Results to Average MPH:

Convert your TT time to seconds (for example: 22:31 would be 22 minutes x 60 = 1320 seconds plus 31 or 1351 seconds)

Divide 3600 (# of seconds in an hour) by your total seconds (ex: 3600 divided by 1351 = 2.66)

Multiple by the # of miles (ex: 2.66 x 10 = 26.64 Average MPH)
