. . . right now the pros would not be wetsuit legal for the 1st time ever. Every year the same story ;-) But they will manage that. They simply open the canal to let some water float through and temperature will be dialed-in perfectly for a wetsuit legal, even for Pro's (while IM Frankfurt a week later will most likely be a non-wetsuit race, maybe even for AG's).
Other than that:
- Order from Squeezy and let it ship to the address where you will stay. They typically ship in Germany within two days.
- Or buy Squeezy at the Expo.
- You will not find it at a supermarket, but probably at local sports shops like Radsport Buchstaller (in Hilpoltstein, close to the swim start; THE bike shop in the Roth area).
- In general, Squeezy is my preferred sports drink and gels here in Germany. No difference to e.g. PowerBar.
- Cool water, sponges and even ice packs are not an issue at all on race day. You will get plenty.
