Ironman organised trucks to shuttle bikes and rack them for anyone who didn't want to ride out or drive out to T1 on Saturday.
Ironman organised busses for athletes to go to T1 on Saturday if they wanted.
Ironman organised busses for athletes and supporters to go to the race start on Sunday.
Ironman organised busses for spectators to go back to the finish after everyone left T1
Ironman collected all the swim gear and street gear bags and took them back to the finish area to be collected at T2 after the race.
Ironman Australia in Forster used to do the same
Ironman Malaysia does the same.
It works and you are focussing on something that is at worst,inconvenient.
Overseas IM events tend to be nicer for a lack of better word when it comes to this stuff. I've never had an athlete stuck on a bus in Asia/AUS when racing an WTC event. Plenty of times in NA when they've used buses this has happened in 70.3 events anyway. Hopefully they can pull it off without a hitch though.
