I’m bugging about the bike portion I’m a slow rider

My 70.3 western mass Ironman is 3 weeks away. I have a road bike with aero bars attached

I usually do my rides solo and the fastest I’ve ever done alone was around 12-13 mph :/

At race sprints I’ve done over 15-18 mph.

I may end up taking the hour to swim. But I’m nervous about DNF. It’s a very hilly course so I’m hoping I can at least finish (I don’t even care if I come in last). I’m averaging 9-12 hours a week of training between run, bike, swim, and strength training total.

I’m trying to ease the anxiety because I know you can’t compare training alone speed vs race day. I usually run in the 10-11 min mile pace but my Brooklyn half pace was below 8:30 min mile.

Am I screwed?
