Putting aside any discussion on the merits or not of mid foot cleats and not that I think it is worthwhile anyway but it is possible to have 2 sets of cleats in the same shoe so the rider can change during a ride but it would have to be old spd's or similar small pedal type to fit.
there was someone I can't recall who did this during road racing but I can't think why you'd do it for a TT though....

It would seem from everything I've read that the seat positions for arch cleats vs. traditional placement would make doing this very hard (unless you also move the seat).

Agreed, I think it was intended for a rider to give them a choice should a sprint situation arise in a road race. It clearly wasn't successful but it can be done!
I'm curious about it all anyway for two reasons. I have a good buddy who positions riders for a living and several riders have gone that way (e.g. my club mate who made an attempt at the Masters world hour record was using mid foot cleat position). I really don't see the advantage but that's another conversation.
Also, when I get my bike leg sorted, I will in effect have a cleat directly under where my ankle would have been. The good thing is I can choose the length of leg that I want!
