What is a respectable completion time of 40 mile bike leg of Triathlon,?

Experienced athlete, novice cyclist competing in first Triathlon. Breathing is fine as I do alot of running, cardio, etc. and I have some time to train before the event. I don’t expect to win the cycling leg, but would like to be competitive. What time should I set as a benchmark for a 40 mile cycle circuit for race day?
Terrain is compacted cinder gravel. I rode a brief portion of the trail today (10 miles) on my road-bike and it was a pretty bumpy ride at times. (The trail is open to hikers, bikers, and horseback year round resulting in hoof indentations, etc). Competitors can use mountain/road/recumbent bicycles. I’ve opted for Road for speed potential.

What's my best option to improve my last place speed on a hybrid with regular pedals in a triathlon race?

Should I get clipless pedals, race tires, make other adjustments, or just practice more short of buying a road bike? I was the only hybrid in the race.
