SELAMAT DATANG.

Welcome to the 2016 edition of IRONMAN Malaysia. We are proud to be hosting you here on the beautiful island of Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah which will again prove to be a tough, yet rewarding “Tropical IRONMAN” race.

The ocean swim will again be located in the sheltered, crystal clear waters of Pantai Kok with a two-loop triangle out and back course.

The two-loop bike course heads out of T1 located next to The Danna Langkawi and onto an unchanged clockwise route taking in the jungle hills of Datai where you’ll pass by the local monkey troops. From there, you’ll be treated to a mix of riding that skirts along the northern edge of the island with picturesque views over the Andaman Sea and then through the paddy fields and villages. The island’s beauty and wildlife will be a welcome distraction for you as you push your legs to the limit circumnavigating the local roadways.

I am sure you will be looking forward to get back from the bike course into Asia’s only indoor air conditioned transition (T2). It is located at the Mahsuri International Exhibition Center (MIEC) which is also the venue for the race expo, IRONMAN Merchandise, athlete briefing and the welcome dinner.

Our run course takes you along the scenic shorelines of the Langkawi International Airport and will take you past the finishing line at the stunning Chenang beach in front of our magnificent host hotel, the Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort and Spa. It is an amazing 2.5 lap run course.

Please do take note of the special IRONMAN ruling on a non-wetsuit race, clothing covering any part of the arms below the elbows 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, please proceed to RULES.

Due to the success of IRONKIDS Langkawi in 2015, the 2nd edition of event for budding athletes will be taking place on 11th November 2016. For more information, please go to the IRONKIDS event page.

On behalf of 2016 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 Bandaraya Pelancongan (MPLBP), the Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) and all of the event stakeholders in providing us with such a wonderful venue and continued

support for this year’s event. Further thanks is extended to the community of Langkawi for coming out to support and volunteer for the event.

Whether it’s before or after the race, we encourage you to spend some time relaxing and enjoying the sites and sounds of what Langkawi and it’s surrounding islands have to offer.

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

Terima Kasih

CARL SMITH

We are using the 2016 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

• Keep 12 metres between yourself and the cyclist in front of you – front wheel to front wheel

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

• Complete your pass within 25-seconds

• If passed, drop back immediately 12 metres and ensure you have dropped back the full 12 metres before re-passing

• Conduct personal toilet stops at the oncourse toilet facilities provided.

• Remember to treat other athletes, volunteers and officials with courtesy and consideration as failure to do so is Unsportsmanlike Conduct.

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 12 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 be then your responsibility to serve the 5 minute time Penalty at the next Penalty Box. NOTE that any 3 blue card 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.

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 9 November 2016 between 2pm – 6pm

• Thursday 10 November 2016 between 12pm – 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 10th November 2016.

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 timing (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)

• Gear Bag (Black, Blue and Red)

• Gear Bag sticker, to be stuck onto your Gear Bag

• Sponsor promotional items

• Special needs bag

• Special need bag label

ID wRISTBAnDYour ID wristband must be worn at all times as this will be your entry to ‘athlete only restricted areas.’ This is your only means of entry to transition to rack your bike pre-race (T1) and to collect your gear and bike after the race (T2). IRONMAN will not allow access into these area’s without athletes wearing their wristband.

TImInG InFOYou will collect your Timing Chip and confirm your identity with the timing personnel during Bike Check-In on 11 November 2016 between 9am - 3pm.

AThleTe CheCk-InAt 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 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 an official in Transition, so that officials can do their best to replace that chip in order to record splits for the rest of the race.

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.

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

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
