Next Goal & Next Reward?

Ok i like to set my first intermediate goal for my triathlon endeavour. Having completed 3 events so far, i can easily say what timing separates a TRIathlete from a TRYathlete. I have no intend in saying having fun in Tri and enjoying the atmosphere and a "feel good" feeling after you cross the finishing line is anything wrong. But for those who really want to enjoy the sports at a more competitive level, its necessary to set certain targets that is of respectable standards.

This is where i think i stand after my last 3 events as of today.
Swim: 1 min 20 sec / 50m [40min for 1.5k Swim]
Bike: 28 km/hr [1hr 26min for 40km Bike]
Run: 6 min/km [60min for 10k Run]
Transisitons: 5min
Total Estimated Time: 3hr 11min

This is where i need to be next as my next goal with OD as my measurement.
Swim: 1 min 10 sec/ 50m [35min for 1.5k Swim]
Bike: 32 km/hr [1hr 15min for 40km Bike]
Run: 5 min/km [50min for 10k Run]
Transitions: 5min
Total Estimated Time: 2hr 45min

I should reward myself with a 2XU trisuit when i can achieve the above stated. Perhaps i shall reward myself with a HED3 or HED Jet if i can achieve 2hr 30min.
