Sounds like you are doing the South Beach Triathlon. It's an amazing event and to this date, the largest attended triathlon I have done. I am also doing it this year. Although .93 /mile may not seem like a lot, this is happening in the ocean and last year the waves were nasty and people were quitting in the swim portion.
My advice for the run portion would be to start training on the sand now. A big part of that course was hard Sand and it was killing people that were not used to it (myself included).

Good advise about the sand, I already do train in the sand. (I run in Vibram 5-fingers, so that makes it easier, since my running style changed by starting to run in those 4 years ago)
Are you doing the ING Jan 25th? Maybe we should run it together! Frankly, I'm simply trying to get in under 4 hours, since this is my first marathon since I was 25 years old, but right now my training times are on track for a time of around 3:50. What do you expect to run it in?
