Are you talking about the Oceanside race in 10 days? I haven't done this race before but I am doing it this year and have done the distance. If you have trained you should be fine. Just don't over pace yourself and make sure to eat/drink. Things I am thinking about for this course are -
1. Either two swim caps or a neoprene hat. It has been a little cool and the next week it might be cool so I am most likely going to at least wear two swim caps.
2. Putting a 12/27 on the back. There is a decent hill or two on the course.
3. Toe caps for the bike. This will be a race day decision but it has been cool lately so I am bringing them.
Other than that - have fun. Pace and eat/drink and you'll make it.

This question is for those who have competed in this event.
Is there anything you learned from this race or any information you wish you knew about the course before the event?
First time doing this distance and getting very nervous...
