Anyone planning on doing this race or have any knowledge of the course? Looks like it may be a warm swim based on recent temps.

I'm participating. Average water temps are above C20° as mentioned on the website. So yes, a rather warm swim, perhaps no wetsuit allowed based on circumstances. I cannot find a link to recent water temps though.

Thanks Kreiger, I'm thinking about registering but thought the bike course had potential to be a draft fest.

Every bike course has the potentiol of drafting, depends on the athletes I guess. Off course this is a 2 loop course which means more people on the same course at the same time so more doubt for referees about wheither or not someone is drafting and blocking could be an issue too.
Also the run is a 4 lap course so could be crowded. But I hope the streets will be wide enough to allow for easy passing.

But then again, not the only IM70.3 to have laps in both bike and run so if done right, should be okay.
