no you have to be decent for the run, personally, id run with wetsuit stripped to my waist, carrying a soaking wetsuit for a mile is bloody difficult, and the bag they give you for the beach wont fit one in..
you might be bale to get access to your t1 stuff in t2 but youll have to find out at the briefing, its technically possible but I don't know if there is a specific rule against it.
the 920 was down to about 20% battery by the time I finished, so if you want it to last the whole thing i'd not have it reading power data and on smart recording, I really doubt it would last 17 hours doing everything....

Wetsuit has arrived so I can give that a try out this evening down at Shepperton Lake (water temp 25C!). Will try and do 3 or 4 of the big (750m) loops.
In other fascinating news, the HRM-Tri doesn't pair with my Edge 705 and I doubt my 920xt will last the entire IM (probably 14-15 hours compared to Ed's 11) and I must have ALL THE DATA! Don't want to risk the 920xt dying part way during the run. Guess I'll be donning a HRM-1 chest strap for the cycle.
I take it that you don't get to access to your T1 stuff in T2 at IM Wales? (That'd be handy to take the HRM-Tri off at T1 and put it back on at T2). Hmm, I could use my HRM-Swim for the swim and T1 (not worried about lack of running dynamics data for T1 but obviously want it for the run), then switch to HRM-1 chest strap for the cycle, then put the HRM-Tri on for the run. What could possibly go wrong with that?
Also, one more (IM nudity rules) question: Given the length of T1 at IM Wales I plan on removing the wetsuit completely and sticking it in a bag that I'll stash with my T1 trainers. Question is, are you allowed to do that run topless or do I need to wear a tri top under the wetsuit?
