Time-wise its the shortest portion of the event and losing 5-10min to the front runners in your age group won't kill you. Then you have 90km to make that up. Sounds like you can more than hold your own on the run. Good luck.
Thanks! Yes swim is my weakest event and I defiantly lose time on there, I have the same thought on losing a little time there isn't bad as I have plenty of time to make it up. This last Tri I focused a lot more on running to be good/better at 2 of 3 events. How was the step up to FIM? That seems like a huge step. My uncle did 1 FIM and he tells me I need to focus on my swim as it is my weakest and not very efficient on my glide.
