What is another word for time trial?
Pronunciation: [tˈa͡ɪm tɹˈa͡ɪə͡l] (IPA) 
A time trial is a race in which individuals compete against the clock to complete a set distance in the shortest possible time. Such races are common in cycling and other endurance sports, but the term "time trial" is not the only way to describe this type of competition. Some other synonyms for time trial include individual time trial, race against the clock, race against time, solo effort, and chrono. These terms all refer to the same basic concept of competitors racing alone against time rather than against each other, resulting in a test of their individual skills and endurance.
