70.3 seems too warm to wear a wetsuit for the better part of 2 hours under the sun. Unfortunately, you can't really take it off half way and ditch it.
Do you all take any power gels or hydration with you somehow?
i think the water was warmer than that, and it has always been in the mid 70's every year i have done it.
i took two endurolytes just before the start and tucked a couple of hammer gels in my jammers. the plan was to take one at the half way mark and the second around 3.5 miles, but i was feeling good the whole way and didn't want to break my stride even for a couple of seconds.... finished 5th nekked (50th O/A)
