Were we at the same race? I was freezing on the bike and my friend dropped out due to hypothermia. Overall still loved the event and would love to do it again.I'm surprised to hear that your friend dropped out due to hypothermia, I never felt it was cold and actually was very comfortable except when I couldn't see! I did consume an extra 300 calories on the bike despite 30 minutes less in the saddle then prior IM which suggests my body doing extra work to regulate temperature. Is your friend small or perhaps not a strong cyclist and therefore not generating enough heat for their body size to stay warm?
my small female friend dropped out before the end of the first bike loop because of the cold. Personally I am well insulated (works against me during the climbs) and found the rain to be warm. if the humidity dropped like on Monday, that would have been a disaster. As someone else said, it all depends on your body composition. i think in 2014 there were lot more people dropping out because of hypothermia during the run.
last year was smoking hot and i melted. next year should be hot as well. that's how it goes at Tremblant, hot one year and cold the next
