I think given the field if he can come top 4, it's a success for his first outing.
Swim on McMahon’s toes, come out of the water 49-52 min easy but where you want.
Ride first 40-60 km in the group, looking around taking stock. Push the last 2/3 so you have 3-4 minutes in the bank to fast runners...maybe only loosing 2 minutes to surf.
Catch wurf by 10-15 km for the lead....stay there until 38 km....no matter how good you feel, little push at 38 km so you have 1-2 minutes Insurance. Win.
I think anything faster would be a failure.
