It was a cold morning at my last Ironman. I agree to dry off completely. Might even want to change into a dry kit. Most of the fast guys seemed to wear arm warmers or a wind breaker. A lot of other people shoved plastic grocery bags into their kit then threw them away at aid stations. I couldn't get arm warmers on my wet arms so I went in just my kit. It took about 70 miles before I could spin my legs comfortably. The first two aid stations I couldn't close my hands to grab water bottles. They just bounced right off my hands. It was also very difficult to close my fingers to pickup the Clif Blok chews in my bento. I also had to use two hands to push the di2 button in to shift. Hopefully that will help you think about options to prepare for. Good luck.

Adding that I wore toe covers but my toes still felt like rocks until t2
