WELCOME TO THE IRONMAN MALAYSIA LANGKAWI ATHLETE INFORMATION GUIDE

2015 IRONMAN MALAYSIA LANGKAWI

http://ap.ironman.com/triathlon/events/asiapac/ironman/malaysia.aspx

SELAMAT DATANG.

Welcome to the 2015 IRONMAN Malaysia, Langkawi. This year, we are very excited about the new changes in the event. Our aim is to continuously improve on the race experience in Langkawi and to make IRONMAN Malaysia the best event in the region.

The swim will take place in a whole new location at the beautiful beach of Pantai Kok next to The Danna Langkawi with crystal blue waters of the bay providing a totally new experience to the competitors. The ocean swim starts from the picturesque white sandy beach of Pantai Kok with a two-loop triangle out and back course.

The bike course is very similar to last year except for the 2nd lap. Do take note of the turn off at Makam Mahsuri on the 2nd lap into Nyior Chabang as you head towards Transition on the inbound. The island’s rolling hills remain and make for one of the best cycling courses in an IRONMAN event in this region.

I am sure you will be looking forward to get back from the bike course into the Asia Pacific’s first indoor air conditioned transition (T2). It is located at the Mahsuri International Exhibition Center (MIEC) which is also the venue for the race expo, official merchandise, athletes briefing and the welcome dinner. Our new run course takes you along the shorelines of the Langkawi International Airport and will take you pass the finishing line at the stunning tourist hotspot of Chenang beach in front of the Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort and Spa. It is an amazing 2.5 lap run course.

Please take note of the IRONMAN swimwear ruling on a non-wetsuit race, clothing covering any part of the arms below the shoulders and clothing covering any of the leg below the knee is deemed illegal equipment and is not permitted. Compression wear may NOT be worn DURING non-wetsuit swims, but may be worn upon the completion of the swim.

For more information on the new rules, see IRONMAN Asia-Pacific Rules and Regulations{http://ap.ironman.com/rules-and-regulations}

This year we have introduced a new grassroots program to encourage more kids to become healthy and active. The IRONKIDS Langkawi will be happening on the morning of the13th November. For more information, please go to IRONKIDS LANGKAWI. {http://ap.ironman.com/triathlon/events/asia-pac/ironman/malaysia/ironkids}

On behalf of IRONMAN Malaysia, we would like to extend our appreciation to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Malaysia Major Events, Langkawi Development Authority (LADA), Majlis Perbandaran Langkawi, the Polis DiRaja Malaysia and all the stakeholders in providing us with a new wonderful venue for this year’s event. Further gratitude is extended to the community of Langkawi in coming out to support and volunteer for the event.

I, on behalf of my team, wishes you and your family all the best for your time in Langkawi and have an enjoyable race day experience.

Terima Kasih

RACE DIRECTOR UPDATES

http://ap.ironman.com/rules-and-regulations

http://ap.ironman.com/triathlon/events/asiapac/ironman/malaysia/ironkids.aspx

We are using the IRONMAN Race Competition Rules in alignment with the special IRONMAN Rules and this is a “NON Drafting Event”.

To minimise the possibility of infringing the rules on race day and avoiding a visit to the Penalty Box, please observe the following:

• Ride on the left side of the bike lane

•

• Pass on the right of the cyclist in front (never on the left)

• Complete your pass within 25-seconds

•

•

•

Triathlon is an individual race and it is your responsibility to fully understand the rules and avoid infringements. A Technical Official’s ruling is final in the case of Drafting, Blocking, and Illegal Pass infringements (Judgment Calls) and these are not subject to either protest or appeal. Following are the most common rule infringements:

• Blocking – Riding on the right side of an athlete without passing or riding on the right hand side of the bike lane when clear of other athletes

• Drafting – Following a leading cyclist closer than 10 metres and failing to pass in 25 seconds OR after being passed, failing to drop back 10 metres before re-passing

• Illegal Pass – Passing on the left

• Littering - Discarding items, e.g. tyres, bidons, gel wrappers etc., on any part of the course except within sight of an Aid Station

• Helmet – Always have your chin strap securely fastened when moving with your bike

A Technical Official will advise you of any time Penalty by calling your number, advising you of the nature of the infringement and showing you a Blue Card. It will then be your responsibility to serve the 5 minute time Penalty at the next Penalty Box.

NOTE that any 3 infringements across the course during the event will result in a Disqualification.

Other infringements including:

• offensive and unsportsmanlike behaviour, • public personal toilet, • outside assistance and • the use of electronic equipment are also against the rules and any ONE of these infringements may result in a Disqualification.

I sincerely hope you have a great race, enjoy the experience, and achieve your IRONMAN goals.

Melody TanRace Referee

MESSAGE FROM RACE REFEREE


Keep 10 metres between yourself and the cyclist in front of you – front wheel to front wheel

If passed, drop back immediately 10 metres and ensure you have dropped back the full 10 metres before re-passing

Conduct personal toilet stops at the on course toilet facilities provided.

ATHLETE CHECK IN

Check-In for all athletes participating in IRONMAN Malaysia will take place at MIEC (Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre) on the following days and time:

• Wednesday 11 November between 10am – 6pm • Thursday 12 November between 10am – 6pm

It is compulsory for all athletes to Check-In during these times. No athlete will be able to Check-In after 6.00pm on Thursday 12 November 2015.

You are required to show photo identification to register – i.e. Driver’s Licence or Passport.

Please do not take your bike into the Check-In queue as this congests the area and makes it dangerous for other athletes. Please allow time for delays when making travel arrangements.

Please note, it is illegal for someone to race under your name or for you to race under someone else’s name: this will result in disqualifications and ineligibility to race in other IRONMAN events.

During Check-In, athletes will receive the following:

• ID wristband (to be worn from when you Check-In through to the end of the race)• Race bib (compulsory on run leg only)• Swim cap (compulsory) colour based on self-seeding time (rolling start)• Helmet sticker (placed on the front of the helmet)• Bike seat post sticker (to wrap around the seat post of your bike and stick to itself)• Body Tattoos (number to be placed on right upper arm and letter category to be placed on right calf)• Gear Bags (Blue = Bike, Red = Run and Black = Street) • Gear Bag stickers, to be stuck onto your Gear Bags• Sponsor promotional items• Special needs bags • Special needs bag labels

ID WRISTBANDYour ID wristband must be worn at all times as this will be your entry to ‘athlete only restricted areas’ including the course, transition and post finish line. You will also require these for bike and street gear collection. It is also athlete’s entry to both the Thursday and Sunday Functions. IRONMAN will not allow access into these areas without athletes wearing their wristband.

TIMING INFOYou will collect your Timing Chip and confirm your identity with the timing personnel duringAthlete Check-In. At this stage you will re-confirm your information and ensure that your race number matches your timing chip. Please ensure you put it in a safe place and remember to have it with you on race morning.

• Timing Chips must be worn on your left ankle. • On race morning, your timing chip must be on to enter transition. Officials will be checking this. • If you do not start the race or pull out of the race for any reason you are required to return the Timing Chip to one of the Drop-Out Clerks located at the Information Tents.• If your Timing Chip is not returned or is lost you will be charged $150 USD for a replacement.• Timing results will include swim split, bike split, run split and finish time– overall and category results.

If timing chips are not worn throughout the duration of the race, race results will not be available to that athlete.

If a timing chip is lost during the race, the athlete needs to inform event personnel in transition, so that timing providers can do their best to replace that chip in order to record splits for the rest of the race. Lack of timing data may affect validity of category results and World Championship qualification.

WITHDRAWAL & TIMING CHIP RETURNIf you withdraw from the race at any time (pre or during), please inform IRONMAN via one of the Information Desks or Drop-Out Clerks or phoning (+60)17-8770 591, especially on race day. It is the athlete’s responsibility to return their timing chip. If you fail to return your timing chip, a $150 USD replacement charge applies. It is extremely important for all timing chips to be returned to ensure all athletes are accounted for across the event.

Drop-Out Clerks are located at:1) Transition 1 2) Transition 23) Finish Line


RACE DAY SERVICES

It is strongly advised that you have adequate personal insurance regardless of whether you are a resident or from overseas.

SAG WAGONThe Sag Wagon will collect athletes who are unable to complete the event, or are unable to finish within the course cut-off time. Collected athletes will be transported to the closest Aid Station or back to Transition 2. Should you require a Sag Wagon at any time, please wave down a motorbike official and they will contact IRONMAN for Sag Wagon deployment. Alternatively advise volunteers at the nearest Aid Station. Please note delays in Sag Wagon transport are expected. To assist with a prompt response, please do not move from your reported location once a Sag Wagon has been requested as this could affect their ability to locate and transport you.

SWIM SAFETYThere will be a large number of water safety personnel and craft on the water pre and during the swim. The water safety team is there to support you should you require. They will be resourced with an array of Rescue Boards, Jet Skis and IRB’s.

At any time should you require the assistance of water safety please raise one arm into the air and they will come to your aid.

Should at any point an athlete decide to abandon the swim, they will be taken to one of the swim extraction points. From here they will be required to confirm their athlete number and be checked over by medical. It is then the athlete’s responsibility to walk back to Transition 1 and hand in their timing chip to the Drop-Out Clerk located at the Information Desk.

BIKE MECHANICS Bike mechanics will be setup at the IRONMAN Malaysia Expo on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC) and at Transition 1 on Friday (for minor repairs) during Bike Check-in. They will be conducting a paid service for ‘minor mechanicals’ during these times. A limited ‘emergency service’ will be available inside Transition 1 on race morning for athletes and Transition 2 during bike collection. During the race mechanics will be circulating around the bike course. They will provide basic tools and spare tubes only, enabling athletes to conduct their own repairs, however the mechanics are unable to carry out any repairs on athlete’s behalf as it is against the rules. Athletes should be aware that spare wheels and tubulars will not be available from mechanics. Athletes are advised to bring their own spare wheels and tubular tyres for the race.

IRONMAN SWIMSMART

7. Warm Up on Race Day• Arrive early enough on race day for a proper warm-up prior to the start, preferably in the water. • If you aren’t able to warm up in the water, spend between 5 and 10 minutes getting loose.• Be sure to do some cardio activity, such as a light jog, to increase circulation and prep your muscles.

8. Checkout the Course• Get comfortable with the course by checking out water conditions, the swim entry, exit layouts, along with turn buoy locations. • Identify basic navigation points so that you know what you are swimming towards.

9. Start Easy– Relax and Breathe• Don’t race at maximum effort from the start. • Relax and focus on proper breathing technique as you settle into a sustainable pace.

10. Be Alert and Ask For Help• In a race setting always stop at the first sign of a medical problem.• If you or a fellow athlete needs help, just raise your hand to alert a lifeguard or safety boat. • Race rules allow for competitors to stop or rest at any time during the swim.• Feel free to hold on to a static object like a raft, buoy, or dock.• You may also rest by holding on to a kayak, boat or even a paddle-board. As long as you don’t use it to move forward, you won’t face disqualification.

Top 10 Checklist An open-water swim in a triathlon is substantially different from swimming in a pool. To alleviate stress, it’s important that you arrive on race day healthy, fit and prepared. Here's a top-10 checklist to help get you ready.

1. Prepare for Race Conditions• Race day should not be your first open water swim. Make sure some of your training replicates real race conditions, including water temperature, proximity to other swimmers. Wetsuit is not allowed in this race.

2. Race in Shorter Events• Being properly trained is the best way to reduce anxiety. If possible, race in shorter events and clinics to prepare yourself for open water conditions. • For extra guidance, talk to a coach or your local triathlon club.

3. Learn About Course Details• It’s important to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically prior to race day. Thoroughly review the race website and pre-race communication to familiarize yourself with the course.• Keep in mind, every body of water is different, so you’ll need to educate yourself on water current and surf conditions.• Study the event timetable to plan for proper arrival and preparation.

4. Ensure Heart Health• As an athlete in training, you should take the proper steps to assess your health with your physician. • You should have regular medical check-ups especially screening of the heart. This includes physical exam as well as an assessment of your family history and personal heart health.

5. Pay Attention to Warning Signs• If you experience chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, light- headedness or blacking out while training, consult your doctor.

6. Don’t Use New Gear on Race Day• Focus on controlling as much as you can on race day.• You should never race in equipment you haven’t trained in this is not the time to test new gear. •Make sure your wetsuit fits properly and that your goggles, swim cap and other accessories work properly. • Prepare for the unexpected with backups of all your gear
