I haven’t raced SR but I did Vineman several times. So I won’t comment on SR. I did ST George 4x, my favorite 70.3. Three years it was very warm to hot. 2016 we had wind, heavy cold rain. Lots of athletes pulled for hypothermia or DNF, brutal day.
The swim, expect water temps in the high fifty’s to low 60’s. If the wind kicks up it can be tough, just ask people that raced the 70.3 2016 or the full 2012.
Bike is tough, bring your climbing legs and be ready for some fast sections too. For the most part they do a good job keeping traffic separated from the athletes.
Run is hilly too and can be hot, especially with the heat refraction off the red rocks.
It’s a very well run race, lots of volunteers. St George is a beautiful area, head to Zion the day after, you won’t be disappointed.
Train safe & smart
