Most of the roads the race uses are ok for riding, some are busy but have shoulders, others are small country roads.

For running, the boulder creek path is a great running trail and is where most of the IM run course covers.

No clue as to pre race group rides.

There are several pools open to the public (for a fee) and some with masters practices. Just google that question

Scott Carpenter is where you want to swim. That said, Boulder Aquatic Masters has open water swims at the reservoir though I don't recall on which days.

As for the bike, US 36/Foothills doesn't seem to be safe to ride anymore (IMO) but Diagonal highway has a generous shoulder.

Ride the whole route. They are some of the safest roads in Boulder County.

Same for the run. Just park at the Res entrance, then go. Or do it on a bike.

Stay away from most of the group rides. That's just a tip to keep you safe.

Tons of public/private pools in Boulder. Best place to spot the fastest pros is at CAC on 29th street and RallySport. Best masters swims are at CAC though. Go to their website for times.
