I think most IM.distance races use a wetsuit whatever the weather due to the benefits they offer, but I suppose doing the distance without wetsuit will give extra confidence on the day...
It was close in Austria, but we were lucky to have colder weather the week before and water temp came in well under. The previous year water temp was 26 degrees and wetsuits were banned. Apparently lots of people just walked away from the start and did not compete.
