Yeah for sure. I recon the best combo is to be great on the bike and a good runner. If you can ride a fast bike split and still leave yourself enough in the tank for a good run then you stand a good chance of doing well overall. You just need to be good enough to survive the swim comfortably and without too much stress.
Part of me wishes I'd been born with better bike legs instead of a good swim, but then again I can see how the swim is by far the most daunting part for someone without a swimming background, so maybe it's not that bad :-)
