hey, I know a little about the Wildflower Triathlon. A long time ago (before kid, even) a friend of a friend did the Wildflower Triathlon. We went down to support her, and ended up as volunteers. This was a long time ago, but here's what I remember. The weather was warm - not too hot, but not foggy or anything like that. I didn't see a lot of wetsuits - a lot of people were wearing those nylon onesies that you could swim, run and bike in. More people had trouble with the swim than the running or biking, but I think that's because they started as runners, not swimmers. They were doing an ultra marathon the next day, so the ultra guys were doing the tri as a warmup for the ultra. Those guys probably had maybe .5% body fat. Completely cut. We didn't camp, (daytripped) and I don't know where or if people were camped. That's my general impression.
