This will be a perfect tune up for CDA...well I guess it could be better if there were hills in Washington. CDA is VERY cold but you get over it quick with 2500 people hitting you! Be sure to save your legs 1st lap of the bike. I rode 5:10 there and blew myself up for the run. Lots of hills but beautiful area.
I do best when I only take in water for the first 30 min of bike in an ironman then start with calories. Otherwise I get the same cramps and nausea that you mentioned. What nutrition are you using? What's your calories per he plan on bike and run? How many calories before race? Whatever your plan is, stick to it and trust it. It looks like we may catch a break on weather this weekend.
