I did Muncie a couple of times before it was purchased by WTC in which the conditions were similar to what is expected tomorrow. I suffered and dropped out once 7 miles into the run, but I learned how to deal with the heat. I have a 50something cousin who grew up in Indianapolis who signed up for Muncie. It is her first triathlon. She did her first marathon (NYC) last fall in just under 5 hours. She traveled from South Carolina for the race. It will be interesting to find out her reaction to the news. For her safety and possible longevity as a triathlete, I'm glad they shortened the race and her first tri will be an Oly. I just hope I don't see her claiming next week that she just finished an Ironman. :)
