My thought is 25 mph would be a reasonable goal, with the assumption that the shorter distance would offset the fact that I'm swimming and running also. Is this realistic?
Wow. Sounds like you have a hell of an engine on that bike. What are the swim and run leg lengths, and have you done much in the way of combined bike / run workouts?
