Going form 1:05 to 1:00 flat that needed to go sub 2 unless your a top swimmer or runner is a HUGE jump in speed. 1:05 is a somewhat pedestrian 22.8mph. 1:00 is of course 24.8 mph. Unless you have big aero imrpovements in position or equipment to be made, you probably have to almost double your training volume or dramatically imrpove your quality to get there. I know, that's what it took for me but I'm still only at 1:01.
But you said box rimes and traiing tires, so that could be a good 1mph you left on the table.
I'd say your getting close, but you'll need more. At this point a 70.3 will be a better test to prove your metal toughness and nutrition plans. Within the ability ot really suffer in the run and have a solid nutirition plan, you'll be in trouble. I was a little off at my last HIM and it cost me probably 4-5 minutes and a LOT of suffering. In a IM that's probably magnified to 20-30 minutes and kissing any shot at a KQ goodbye.
