Sam-
IME different people prefer different approaches. Some say gear for average cadence across the course, others say gear for the easy bits and others say gear for the hard bits. Personally (in my very limited experience) I find gearing slightly to the hard side of average cadence works best for me, but I guess it's also relatively dependent on the course... most of my fixed TTs have been on the H10/17 variants which doesn't have any major descents/climbs.

That's what I always do, seems to have worked for the past 10yrs!

Even I've got up to the start on 100", and it's very unlikely that your W/kg are lower than mine. Gear for the rest of the course, anything over 60" is too high to be ideal for riding to the start, and any sensible gear is going to be way spinny down the ski slope, so you basically have to disregard those bits and worry about everywhere else.
