MESSAGES RACE DIRECTOR

Dear Athletes,It’s already been five years since the launch of our IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 Mont-Tremblant events and I can still feel that same genuine excitement as I am extremely privileged to welcome you here, once again, to the heart of the Laurentians. Your decision to take part in an IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant event shows you trust our organization and for this, I would like to thank you with all my heart. With your presence, your unique experiences and amazing stories you are teaching us great life lessons on and off the course. It is with your commitment and determination that our team finds the desire to surpass itself in delivering the IRONMAN DAY of your life!This past June, during the Mont-Tremblant IRONMAN Triathlon Festival we had close to 5,000 athletes gathered to live the magic of IRONMAN with the IRONMAN 5i50 and the IRONMAN 70.3 races. This August, over 2,800 athletes will brave the 140.6 miles to become an IRONMAN. Mont-Tremblant is following through with its objective to become an international triathlon training destination. With the new aquatic center, it’s an ideal place to continue your training - even in winter! From May to September, we offer you a unique service point with the Regional IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant Information Center (CIRIM), located at the Tremblant Resort Beach & Tennis Club at swim start, Lac Tremblant. I wish to take this opportunity to thank our partners for their commitment and passion, especially the governments of Quebec and Canada, Ville de Mont-Tremblant, Station Mont-Tremblant, Tourisme Mont-Tremblant, Chambre de commerce du Grand Mont-Tremblant, our title partner, Subaru Canada and our new presenting partner Sportium.This event would not exist without the generosity of over 5,000 loyal volunteers from all over the world and specially from the Mont-Tremblant Community. Their smile, energy and contagious ‘Joie de Vivre’ will carry you to the finish line, so take a moment to salute them! Finally, my dedicated, engaged and passionate production team joins me in wishing you an unforgettable journey in the heart of our Mont-Tremblant community and a memorable day as you realize your unique achievement with your start of the IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant.

MESSAGES FROM THE HEAD REFEREE

DRAFTING VIOLATION

BLUE CARD

five minute time penalty served in a penalty tent on the bike course

LITTERING VIOLATION

BLUE CARD

five minute time penalty served in a penalty tent on the bike course

BLOCKING VIOLATION

YELLOW CARD

stop and go time penalty served at the next penalty tent

ANY COMBINATION OF THREE VIOLATIONS WILL RESULT IN RACE DISQUALIFICATION.

DISQUALIFICATION (DSQ)

RED CARD

IRONMAN will operate under the “three strikes and you’re out” principle with respect to BLUE CARD violations. DRAFTING AND LITTERING are the only two violations that will result in a BLUE CARD violation and an athlete will incur a time penalty (to be served in the closest penalty tent, located along the bike course). YELLOW CARD violations (stop and go penalty) also require an athlete to stop at the closest penalty tent location along the bike course. Any penalties incurred on the run course are to be served at the point of infraction. While YELLOW CARD violations will not count against your three strikes, IRONMAN Competition Rules still allow an athlete to be disqualified for repeated rule violations should an athlete receive excessive yellow card violations.

So that you understand the rules on race day, please take the time to read and understand the rules in the Athlete Guide and the 2016 IRONMAN Competition Rules.

The POSITION violations are summarized:

Always ride on the right side of your lane to avoid an ILLEGAL POSITION or BLOCKING call.

Keep six bike lengths of clear space between your bike’s front wheel and the rear wheel of the cyclist in front of you to avoid a DRAFTING call.

Always pass on the left of the cyclist in front of you; Never on the right to avoid an ILLEGAL PASS call. Complete your pass within 25 seconds to avoid a DRAFTING call.

Passed athletes must be seen making immediate and constant rear progress out of the drafting zone to avoid a DRAFTING call.

Triathlon is an individual event, and it is your responsibility to fully understand the rules and avoid penalties. The referee’s ruling is final in the case of POSITION violations, and there are no protests or appeals. Other common violations include:

! HELMET CHINSTRAPYour chinstrap must be securely fastened whenever you are on your bike on race day.

! RACE NUMBER You must wear your bib number during the run portion of the race. In addition, your bike frame sticker must be properly attached to your bike frame and must be visible from both sides.

! LITTERING Do not throw ANYTHING outside of official aid stations. Littering will result in a BLUE CARD violation, which is a five minute time penalty.

! UNAUTHORIZED EQUIPMENTSorry, absolutely NO communication devices, MP3 players or other audio devices. (Yes, that means NO cell phones).

! OUTSIDE ASSISTANCENon-racers may NOT ride or run alongside you.

! TIME PENALTIESRemember that even though DRAFTING and LITTERING are the only violations that incur a five minute time penalty, you must go to a penalty tent for any violation to have your number marked. There will be no penalty tents on the run. If you are penalized on the run, the official will mark your number on the spot.

Please treat other athletes, all volunteers, and your referees with courtesy and consideration. Not doing so is UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT and may result in disqualification. I sincerely hope you have a great race and achieve all your goals.

SWIM COURSE RULES & INSTRUCTIONS• Athletes must wear cap provided by race. • No fins, gloves, paddles, or flotation devices (including pull buoys)

of any kind are allowed. • No aqua socks (neoprene booties) unless the water temperature is

65 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. • When the use of wetsuits is forbidden, clothing covering the neck,

clothing covering any part of the arms below the elbows, and clothing covering any part of the leg below the knee, is deemed illegal equipment and is not permitted. Compression sleeves or compression calf guards/socks may NOT be worn during non-wet-suit swims, but may be worn upon completion of the swim.

• Swim goggles and facemasks may be worn. For the US events only, snorkels may be worn due to a medical condition supported by documentation from a physician. Any athlete granted permis-sion to use a snorkel will not be eligible for age-group awards and will not be eligible for IRONMAN World Championship slots or IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship slots. Please note that while we are allowing this usage during the 2016 season for the US events, beginning in 2017 snorkels will not be allowed under any circumstance for any IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 event

• No individual paddlers or escorts allowed. The course will be ad-equately patrolled by boats, canoes and paddleboards.

• Any assistance required during the swim will result in disqualifica-tion if forward progress was made. Athletes are permitted to use kayaks and boats as aid, as long as forward progress is not made. Course officials and medical personnel reserve the right to remove athletes from the course if determined medically necessary.

• The swim course will close 2 hours and 20 minutes after the last athlete enters the water. Each athlete will have 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete the 2.4 mile swim. Individual athletes who take longer than 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete the swim will receive a DNF. IRONMAN officials reserve the right to pull athletes off the course who exceed any established course time cut-offs.

WETSUIT RULESWetsuits may be worn in water temperatures up to and including 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit (24.5 degrees Celsius).

Athletes who choose to wear a wetsuit in water temperatures between 76.2 degrees Fahrenheit (24.55 degrees Celsius) and 83.8 degrees Fahrenheit (28.8 degrees Celsius) will not be eligible for Age Group awards, including IRONMAN World Championship slots or Rolldown slots. If the water temperature is in this range and you choose to wear a wetsuit, you will start after the non-wetsuit swimmers at 7 a.m. Athletes electing to start at this time will still have 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete the swim course. All other course cut-off timelines will remain in place.

Prohibited Wetsuit: De Soto Water Rover Wetsuits cannot measure more than 5 mm thick.

Wetsuits will be prohibited in water temperatures greater than 83.8 degrees Fahrenheit (28.8 degrees Celsius).

SWIMWEAR POLICY (NON-WETSUIT LEGAL SWIMS ONLY)Swimwear must be 100% textile material, which is defined as mate-rials consisting of natural and/or synthetic, individual and non-con-solidated yarns used to constitute a fabric by weaving, knitting and/or braiding. Simply put, this would generally refer to suits made only from nylon or Lycra that do not have any rubberized material such as polyurethane or neoprene. Swimwear must not cover the neck, extend past the elbow, nor extend past the knees. Swimwear may contain a zipper. A race kit may be worn underneath swimwear.

Compression gear may be worn during non-wetsuit swims provided that it is made of 100% textile material (no rubberized material such as polyurethane or neoprene) and that material does not extend past the elbows or knees. Any compression wear that extends past the elbows or knees will not be permitted in non-wetsuit swims (this includes compression sleeves, compression socks, or compression tights).

SWIM TO BIKE TRANSITIONAfter the swim, you will be directed through the timing chutes to the swim to bike transition. Public nudity is not permitted. We require you to be fully ready to race before getting on your bike. Personal nutrients are permitted if carried on you or your bike.

Please inform family and friends to stay off the bike and run course. NOTE: Any athlete electing not to race must notify a timing official immediately. Above all, the safety of each swimmer is our prime concern. A full sweep of the course will be made directly behind the last swimmer. Visual aid will be provided by the lifeguards, divers, canoes, kayaks, buoys, and aquatic crafts that line the course.

ATHLETE GUIDE: 2.4 SWIM • 112 BIKE • 26.2 RUN17

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 and wearing a wetsuit if needed.

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 com-munication to familiarize yourself with the course.

• Keep in mind, every body of water is different, so you’ll need to edu-cate 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.

• The American Heart Association suggests a 12-step screening pro-cess for competitive athletes. This includes a 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.

IRONMAN SWIMSMARTTOP 10 CHECKLISTAn open-water swim in a triathlon is substantially different from swimming in a pool. To alleviate stress, it’s impor-tant that you arrive on race day healthy, fit and prepared. Here’s a top-10 checklist to help get you ready.

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. CHECK OUT 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 swim-ming 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.

Cyclists still on the course after the bike cut-off will be disqualified and will not be permitted to continue in the event. There will be radios to contact ambulances and medical assistance. If you have a prob-lem, please go to an aid station for further assistance.

There will be bike aid stations approximately 10 miles apart along the bike course. It is your responsibility to slow for safe nutrient pick-up. Call out your requirements clearly and in advance. Crews are instructed not to step across the white line for handoffs. It is imperative that you don’t toss bike bottles, cups, or nutri-ent bags on the roadside along the course. A

five minute time penalty will be assessed for discarding litter outside the designated drop zone.

Technical support vans will be on the course to assist with emergency repairs whenever possible; such as replacement tubes, tires, chains, etc. Technical vans will be on the course throughout the day, but are limited in number. Please be self-sufficient. Local Traffic LawsPlease remember that members of the local community use the bike course roads.

Realize that you are an ambassador for the sport and the event and the impact of your ac-tions is far reaching. When you’re out riding the course, please adhere to local traffic laws and go the extra mile to be courteous and respect-ful to the residents of the local community.

Every time a cyclist has an altercation with a driver, that driver sees every cyclist on the road as the enemy.

Every time a cyclist is courteous to a driver, that driver will give every cyclist on the road that much more respect and courtesy in return.

Please think before you act. When training, please follow these suggestions:

Please wear a helmet during all official activi-ties when you are riding your bike. This in-cludes competition, course familiarization and training session activities when you are riding your bike. This includes competition, course familiarization and training sessions.

Please ride single file. This is not just for your safety but also to ensure local drivers can get where they need to go without delay and frustration.

Please obey traffic laws (stop at stop signs, signal when turning, etc.).

Please do not use private property as a toilet.

Please do not litter. Keep your energy bar and gel wrappers with you until you find a trash can.

Please ask your friends and family members to refrain from painting the roads along the course. This defaces public property and is a punishable offense.

Cycle Technique is the official bike shop for IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant. Cycle Technique staff will be at the IRONMAN Village selling parts and accessories and providing expert tech service for any repairs that you may need prior to race day. On race day, Cycle Technique tech vehicles will patrol the course to aid in emergency repairs.

TECH TIPS AND OTHER DETAILSBike inspection is not mandatory and will not be provided at Bike Check-In, although technicians will be available. Athletes are ultimately responsible for their own bikes. However, Triathlon Québec race officials may, at their discretion, make final judgment as to the soundness of the bikes.

To avoid an unexpected flat tire, wait until race morning to inflate your tires to their proper air pressure. There will be a limited number of pumps available in the transition area on race morning so we recommend you bring your own. You must give your pump to a family member or friend before the race start, since pumps will not be accepted with your Morning Clothes Bags.

For security and safety reasons, bikes will NOT BE ALLOWED out of transition once transition closes at 6:15 a.m. Once transition closes, no one will be allowed to enter transition unless accompanied by a race official. On race day, bike tech vehicles will patrol the course to aid in emergency repairs.

Be prepared to pay the $890 USD entry fee with credit card ONLY. We will NOT accept cash or check as a valid form of payment.

Slot Allocation and Rolldown will be completed together in the same ceremony for all IRONMAN events. The calculation to determine the number of slots per age-group has not changed, we simply combined Rolldown and Slot Allocation into one ceremony.

NEW SLOT ALLOCATION/ROLLDOWN POLICYAthletes MUST claim their slot in-person during the 2016 IRONMAN World Championship Slot Allocation/Rolldown Ceremony on Monday, August 22 at 11 a.m. immediately following the Awards Ceremony. We recommend being at least 15 minutes early. Be prepared to pay the $890 USD entry fee with CREDIT CARD ONLY; no check or cash.

Prior to race day, at least one slot shall be tentatively allocated to each Age Group category (both male and female). Final Slot Allocation will be determined on race day based on the number of official starters in each Age Group.

If there are no starters in a particular Age Group, then that slot will be moved to the next calculated Age Group within the gender. Final Slot Allocation shall be representative of the actual number of Age Group starters in each category in the race.

Please check the schedule of events for time and location. Anyone who wishes to claim a Rolldown slot must attend the IRONMAN World Championship Slot Allocation and Rolldown Ceremony and claim their slot in person. If an automatic qualifier in an Age Group chooses not to take the slot, does not attend the IRONMAN World Championship Slot Allocation and Rolldown Ceremony, or has already qualified, the next eligible finisher in that Age Group may claim the slot that has rolled down.

If there are no more eligible finishers in a particular Age Group or no other finishers in attendance at the IRONMAN World Championship Slot Allocation and Rolldown Ceremony in that Age Group, that un-claimed slot will be reallocated to another Age Group within the gender based on the athletes-to-slots ratio. The Age Group within the gender with the largest athletes-to-slots ratio will receive the first reallocated slot, followed by the next largest ratio receiving the second re-allocated slot (if applicable), and so on.

ANTI-DOPING POLICYEach Age Group athlete who accepts a qualifying slot for the IRONMAN World Championship is subject to IRONMAN’s Anti-Doping Rules and will be required to sign the World Championship Events Anti-Doping & Qualifying Slot Waiver for Age-Group Athletes.

ALL WORLD ATHLETEThe IRONMAN All World Athlete program is our way of rewarding age-group athletes’ hard work, dedication, and performance across IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 racing.

The program uses the IRONMAN Age Group Ranking system to determine which athletes have finished within the top 10 percent or better in their age group each calendar year. This system allows athletes to generate points based on their finish time behind the first official finisher in their age group. Athletes accumulate points for each race they complete. On December 31st, only the top three performances will count toward an athletes’ All World Athlete status. This makes it easy for athletes to improve their ranking by simply racing more with IRONMAN. If the race is deemed a non-wetsuit legal race, all athletes who choose to race in the wetsuit wave will receive base participation points in accordance with the All World Athlete age group rank-ing system. On December 31st, only the top three performances will count toward an athletes’ All World Athlete status. This makes it easy for athletes to improve their ranking by simply racing more with IRONMAN.

An athlete can achieve All World Athlete status in one or all of the following categories: IRONMAN, IRONMAN 70.3 and OVERALL (IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 combined).

There are three levels associated with the All World Athlete program: GOLD (top one percent) SILVER (top five percent) BRONZE (top ten percent)

For questions regarding the ALL World Athlete Program, please contact: [email protected]
