4 RACE DIRECTOR UPDATES 4 SELAMAT DATANG. Welcome to the inaugural 2017 IRONMAN 70.3 Langkawi, Malaysia. It is extremely exciting to be welcoming you to this action packed week of festivities, finally being able to bring the IRONMAN 70.3 race into the Langkawi family. We ve had huge success with IRONMAN Malaysia over the past 3 years and now we get to offer the same great island paradise experience to you as well. This event has built a beautiful, yet tough reputation over the last few years, and we have again decided to maintain a very similar race course to 2016 IRONMAN Malaysia. You will start your IRONMAN journey with a clear and calm one-loop, triangle shaped Swim at Pantai Kok. Once you ve jumped onto your bikes, you ve got a one-lap, 90km course that circumnavigates the island and offers an assortment of flats and hills to keep you guessing throughout. Keep your eyes peeled for the wildlife as you ride up and down the hills at Datai! Finishing the long bike ride deserves a bit of treat and that s what s in store when you enter back into the air conditioned hall at T2 But don t be tempted to stay in there too long as the last leg of your race must continue with the 21.1km Run leg. The Half Marathon is flat and takes you along the shorelines of Langkawi International Airport and into the grounds of the host hotel at Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa where you ll be greeted by screaming supporters urging you in to complete your extraordinary achievement! Please do take note of the IRONMAN ruling on a nonwetsuit race, clothing covering any part of the arms below the elbow and clothing covering any part 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 race rules, please proceed to RULES. The 3rd edition of IRONKIDS Langkawi will take place on 10th November 2017 at the beautiful beach of Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa where the kids will have the opportunity to run and finish under the same arch as their IRONMAN heroes the following day. For more information, please go to IRONKIDS LANGKAWI. On behalf of, we would like to once again extend our gratitude 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 local stakeholders for the continued support. Further appreciation is extended to the community of Langkawi in coming out to support and volunteer for the event. I, on behalf of my team, wish you and your family a fantastic trip to this beautiful island paradise and hope your journey to the Finish Line is a rewarding one. Terima Kasih Carl Smith Race Director

21 ironman swimsmart 21 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. Wetsuits are 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

24 IRONMAN CYCLESMART 24 Top 10 Checklist Completing in a triathlon event requires training on a bike. To be fully prepared, it s important that you arrive on event day healthy, fit, and equipped with the proper gear. Fitness can be built indoors, but competing with a group requires the ability to ride safely and competently outdoors. Read on for an essential checklist to get you ready for any two-wheeled challenge. BEFORE YOU RIDE 1. It starts with your bike Your seat and handlebars should be adjusted to the appropriate height and reach for you. Work with a fitter to find your optimal bike fit. Ensure all bolts are tightened properly to avoid coming loose during the ride, and that your brakes and gears are working properly. Keep your bike clean and your chain lubed. Use front and rear lights when riding in low light conditions this may be required by law in your area. Tires should be inflated to the recommended pressure. 4. Be prepared to ride Carry the appropriate amount of water and nutrition, along with a way to purchase additional supplies if needed. Know how to use a tire repair kit and appropriate tools, and be sure to carry them with you. 5. Plan ahead Select a route that limits the number interactions with vehicles if possible factor in time of day and day of the week. Always obey all traffic signals and signs. 2. Learn the basics Practice clipping in and out of your pedals, as well as starting, stopping, and emergency braking. If you re unfamiliar with shifting gears, practice doing this in a low-traffic area. Practice riding a straight line, and cornering (right, left, U-turns). 3. Suit up Always wear an approved helmet in training and racing. Helmets should fit properly without moving around on your head while riding, and remain buckled at all times during your ride. Where available, ride in dedicated bike lanes and where other bikes are normally present to ensure vehicles are aware of you. Select a ride distance appropriate to your fitness. 6. Inform others In the event of an incident, someone should know where you are riding. Always carry personal identification with you and emergency contact information. Carry a cell phone for emergencies. Wear clothing that is designed to function in the weather you will encounter on the ride, and that will help maintain your core body temperature when riding in cold or wet conditions, even during a race. Choose clothing that is visible in low-light conditions.

25 IRONMAN CYCLESMART 25 DURING THE RIDE 7. Stay alert Leave the playlists and podcasts for indoor workouts. Don t use your phone while riding pull off the road if you need to make a call or send a text. Don t take photos and selfies while riding. Keep your head up, particularly when riding in a group. Look at the road and the riders around you, not your bike computer. Be able to see and hear what is going on around you. When riding in the aerobars, do not look down at the road, look ahead. When riding in a group, do not get fixated on the rider directly in front of you. Look through so you can anticipate any issues before they happen, and have an exit strategy. Be easy on the brakes when riding in a group. Ride smoothly, do not overlap wheels, and always come up the inside line of a peloton. Pay particular attention when approaching aid stations during a race. Do not ride though aid stations in the aerobars. 8. Obey the law Always stop at stop signs and lights remember, cyclists have the same responsibilities as vehicles. Know the traffic laws for your area, especially those regarding riding two abreast or single file. 9. Communicate Use verbal and hand signals so others know if you are stopping or turning. Make eye contact with drivers and other cyclists. While riding, let other athletes know you are passing through verbal communication. Watch for hazards in the road including potholes, debris, or water bottles. Point out and verbally communicate these hazards to those riding and racing with you. Visually and verbally communicate with the specific volunteer in the aid station you will be taking aid from, letting them know you are taking aid directly from them. 10. Safety First Ride as far to the side of the road as safely possible. Some situations do require that you safely position yourself on the road so that traffic is unable to pass. This might be when making a turn or when not safe for vehicles to pass. If riding with other people, make sure you are riding single file or allowing traffic to pass from behind you. When riding in a group, avoid riding in the aerobars unless you are riding in front. Your hands should always be able to get to the brakes quickly. Taking unnecessary risks might gain you a couple of seconds during your ride, but it could risk you losing your life. Always ride smart. Know where the vehicles are around you and anticipate that drivers may not see cyclists. When passing a parked car or another cyclist, make sure there is enough space to avoid contact.
