I use the old school Profile Design Aerodrink BTA system. Bike check-in is day before so I would attach the system and then add hydration in the morning. The problem is the TA closes 2 hours before my wave and then another 45 mins or so before I get to the bike so I'm thinking about it getting warm and full of flies. Should I just scrap the BTA and use a regular bottle that I can freeze and then grab out of a bag in T1? Its an OLY so I don't need a ton.

It's an Oly, so technically you don't "need" any hydration on the bike, nor fuel really.
But if you must have a cold bottle, then keep a frozen one in an insulated bag near your bike, and pop it in just as you head out.

I am not familiar with the PD Aerodrink BTA... is it difficult to remove and reattach the bottle? In other words, can you not just carry your bottle into transition morning of?
I use the Torpedo BTA bottle, and I fill it and bring it to my bike the morning of the race when I have check-in the day before. I bring my BTS bottles the same time.

Just freeze the BTA bring it and attach it in the morning. Get there 5-10 minutes earlier to attach it. Or fill it with your drink+ice cubes in the morning.
