Can't draft on a bike but you can get an extra 10% reduction (or more) in effort for the swim by wearing a body float.

Why not take away the multiple gears on the bikes. That's good for 10% or maybe take away the high tech running shoes. That's good for something.
Why not use the best available equipment.
