I raced today, so I can share my observations about the aid stations. Two aid stations on the bike course, so we had six opportunities to access them. I grabbed two water bottles. The first was completely closed, and I think the drinking nozzle thing might have been sealed. I ultimately just unscrewed the cap entirely. That had it's seal intact too but was easier to open. The second bottle I got, however, had been opened. So dunno what the rule was, but precautions were certainly taken. I admit it did prefer the second bottle. Breaking seals on the bike isn't easy. But I get why it might be necessary.
On the run, cups were set out and easy enough to grab. Saw there were whole, unopened bananas too. Some bars and gels. No cups with ice. Volunteers were all behind the tables and wearing masks.
very good race yesterday. are you doing the full again?
