Good luck with the race. keeping fingers cross it does not rain. they could also take the swim out and do a run bike run if the weather is bad. hint if it is raining put all your stuff in a bag with the bike so when you come out your shoes will not be wet. i did a race once in the rain and everything was in a bag. It helped. kept a change of clothes in the car and changed in between the doors with friends holding up my towel.
don't do a open water swim the day before better to go out and do a 20 minute run early in the morning than rest.
sorry to hear about the rain. bring a bag in case the ground is wet. some people cover the bike seat up but you are wet from the swim so it does not matter. you might want to bring long sleeve to throw on for the bike. i know when i did mine in the rain my hands were so cold. be careful riding. don't worry about time just do it. if you like to run with socks than make sure you have a spar so you can put on after the bike ride. do you know what the water temp. is. there is cut off for safety on what they will allow a swim to go. hope you get the swim in but be ready to run ride run. like i said done a few like that. you are all set to swim and bang they cancel it. good luck

The water temp should be fine. Good call on the 2 pairs of socks. I really worried about my glasses. I cant ride without them, and I dont have little windshield wipers for them..lol..plus my tri suit doesnt have pockets like my cycling shirts do..now its up to 90% chance of Thunderstorms..yep..my luck..

i have to wear my glasses also. wrap them up in something to keep them dry while you are swimming. Does your helmet have a visor on it. If so that will help. Have you every rode with a baseball cap under your helmet that can help keep some of the rain off your glasses. If you need to stop and wipe them off just be real careful and make sure you pull right over to do it. Remember everyone will be racing in the same conditions so it will not feel so bad when you are out there training in crappy weather. Let this be your learning experience. The most important to make sure you have warm stuff to put on for the bike ride. It could be cold. My tri suit does not have pockets either but i use a belt that i can put stuff in and clip it on for the bike ride take it off for the run. Have fun. You got this and remember it is a learning experience

@highlandbear - glad to hear you have an answer on the pain. I've had chronically low Vit. D for years. It's an easy fix.
Sunday I fenced two events - foil and sabre and had a blast.
Monday - fencing lesson and fencing class
Tuesday - Cross fit 1 hour
Wednesday - fencing class
Thursday - cross fit and probably personal trainer
Friday - Pilates
Saturday - Crossfit, Saber workshop for 3 hours with a member of the US Olympic team
Sunday - Saber competition.
Keep on losing!
