I've seen several comments referencing the drafting at IMAZ. I was actually impressed with how little drafting was going on compared to other IMs I've been in. This type of course, especially under those conditions is very conducive to drafting but I didn't see very many people trying to take advantage of it.
The only issue I was concerned about on the bike course was people passing on the right (in the shoulder) to avoid going between the rumble strips to pass. If someone is riding on the white line they're not blocking and its the passer's responsibility to pass on the left. If folks are wearing aero helmets in that howling wind, its very difficult to hear someone coming up behind, especially if they don't know which side the passer is coming from.
