I'm in denial that it'll be cold and rainy. I suppose bringing tights, arm warmers,long sleeve compression, full gloves, wind jacket and decide on the spot what to put on? If it snows though...game over.

Practiced taking off and filling up both bike tires.
GOOD thing the swim is first, because I could NOT swim 2.4 miles after fixing a flat. I was in tears trying to pry the last bit of tire back int... read more-
Some tires are A LOT harder to mount on a rim. I remember I had the same problem a few years ago. If you get some foldable tires, they'll go on significantly easier because the bead is more flexible compared to a standard wire bead. Not sure what you're using, but a high quality tire can actually be a worthwhile upgrade. Unfortunately, they can be sort of expensive (~$60/tire).

Ha, yeah, the bike course is rude in my opinion. Some of the best downhills are ruined by a sharp turn at the bottom of the hill.
