time trial
Race the clock
A time trial is a race against the clock rather than against other competitors directly.
In cycling, runners complete the course individually, with the fastest time winning.
The format appears across sports—swimming, motorsports, skiing—whenever competitors are timed separately rather than racing side by side: She set a personal best in the time trial.
