As I am writing this, I once again feel the excitement of welcoming you here in the heart of the Laurentians and I feel extremely privileged! Your decision to take part in an IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant event shows your trust in our organization. For this, I would like to thank you with all my heart. Your presence in Mont-Tremblant for our events is very stimulating and fills us with life lessons. It is in your commitment and your determination to reach, even exceed your goals, that our team finds the desire to surpass itself in delivering the IRONMAN DAY of your life! This year, In June, we will launch the very first Subaru IRONMAN 70.3 Mont- Tremblant Triathlon Festival. The IRONMAN magic will be shared with a great gathering of triathletes with the addition of the IRONMAN 5150 Sprint and Olympic distances to the weekend festivities on Saturday June 20. Besides offering access to the official IRONMAN swim, run and bike courses for training, Mont-Tremblant region is following up in its objective of becoming an international triathlon training destination with the inauguration of its very first aquatic centre, for which the IRONMAN Foundation is proud to have invested $ Over and above the accessibility to the pool, Ville de Mont-Tremblant will reserve 2 training lanes at all times for IRONMAN athletes. This complex will offer a 25-meter pool with 8 swim lanes, a family basin with water games and a multifunctional training room. Biking equipment offering IRONMAN virtual imagery will give you access to a unique experience, even when the thermometer dips below -35 degrees Celsius outside. 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 and our main sponsor, Subaru Canada. Thank you! This year, over 5000 volunteers from all over will share the dream, and above all, their Joie de Vivre that will carry you to the finish line. To all those young and not so young volunteers, I would like to send the warmest thank you! We wish you all an unforgettable stay at the heart of our Mont-Tremblant community and a day you shall cherish forever as you reach for the IRONMAN finish line in Mont-Tremblant.

3 MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD REFEREE 2015 Triathlon Canada (TC) Competitive Rules apply except as indicated in the Athlete Guide. IRONMAN will operate under the three strikes and you re out principle. Even though DRAFTING and LITTERING are the only two violations to incur a time penalty (to be served in the closest penalty tent, located along the bike course), every type of violation counts toward your three strikes, and every bike course violation requires a stop in a penalty tent. Any penalties incurred on the run course are to be served at the point of infraction. Any combination of three Violations results in a DSQ. So that you understand the rules on race day, please take the time to read and understand all rules and regilations in the Athlete Guide and the 2015 TC Competitive Rules. The POSITION violations are summarized below: Yan Therrien IRONMAN HEAD OFFICIAL 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 DISQUALIFICATION (DSQ) RED CARD Any combination of three violations will result in race disqualification.!!!!!! Always ride on the right side of your lane to avoid an ILLEGAL POSITION or BLOCKING penalty Keep five 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. Complete your pass within 20 seconds to avoid a DRAFTING penalty 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 CHINSTRAP Your 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 five minute time penalty. UNAUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT Sorry, absolutely NO communication devices, MP3 players or other audio devices. (Yes, that means NO cell phones). OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE Non-racers may NOT ride or run alongside you. TIME PENALTIES Remember 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, and all violations count toward your three strikes. 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. Yan Therrien Head Official Triathlon Québec info@triathlonquebec.org 3

Share the race day emergency contact listed below with those who may need to reach you in an emergency.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 2015 Please bring the following items with you to Athlete Check-In: Photo Identification Triathlon Quebec (TQ) Memberships will be verified before race registration opens. If you have not paid your one day license online and have yet to renew your membership or purchased your one-day license or renewed your annual license AFTER Wedenesday, August 12 at midnight, you will be required to either show proof of purchase or pay $19,25 CDN to purchase a one-day license on site (taxes and fees included) with credit card only. We will be sending an reminder to all those who said they were members and are not. If you are a professional athlete, you are required to submit proof of professional status at check-in with Triathlon Canada. PLEASE NOTE: Athletes competing in IRONMAN events are required to check-in at the venue during the dates and times listed in the Athlete Guide and Event Schedule. Athlete Check-In will not be available outside the posted times. Should an athlete have a legitimate emergency, IRONMAN will try to accommodate the athlete to the best of our ability as long as the athlete informs IRONMAN. To inform IRONMAN of any emergency during race week, athletes must call the EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER listed above. Athletes who show up after the posted check-in dates and times will not be allowed to race unless prior arrangements were made via the emergency phone. These rules are in effect for a number of important reasons and exist to make your experience the best, safest and most stress-free it can be. The scheduling of Athlete Check-In is designed to allow each athlete the opportunity to become oriented with the venue, acclimated to the area and receive all the necessary information needed to have a successful race. The Mandatory Athlete Briefing will be held on Friday at 7:10 p.m. at the Banque Tent and is hosted for the benefit of all athletes. The briefing will cover important information pertaining to any peculiarities of the course, rules and cut-off times for the disciplines and most importantly any last minute changes or procedures to the event that have occurred, or may potentially occur due to weather related forecasts. It is equally important for athletes to have ample time to check-in their bike and other gear and to make sure all bases are covered leading up to race day. Rushing to complete all necessary tasks within a couple of hours is counterproductive to race preparation. It also creates additional pressure on event staff who work under a tight deadline to execute an IRONMAN event. Competing in an IRONMAN event is a significant endeavor and requires proper planning for your safety and the safety of your fellow competitors, the volunteers, event staff and the hosting community. Thank you for your cooperation. We want to ensure the very best experience for you, not only on race day, but throughout the weekend s activities. WELCOMING DINNER Each athlete has a complimentary entry, with the show of the wrist band, to the carbo dinner. It is being held on Friday August 14 at 5 p.m. Guests tickets are available and in limited quantities.

Mandatory Athlete Briefing Athletes are required to attend the Mandatory Athlete Briefing offered on Friday at 7:10 p.m. at the Banquet Tent. ATHLETE WRISTBAND A wristband printed with your race number will be affixed to your wrist at Athlete Check-In. This band will identify you as an official participant and must be worn throughout the weekend of the event.

16 IRONMAN SWIMSMART 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 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 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. The American Heart Association suggests a 12-step screening process 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. 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 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 paddleboard. As long as you don t use it to move forward, you won t face disqualification. 16

TECH TIPS AND OTHER DETAILS Water conditions may vary prior to race day. We advise athletes to go out for a test swim the days prior to the event. If you are using a new or unfamiliar wetsuit, this is especially important to test the gear, the water, the course layout and to test for any wetsuit chaffing. If you want to feel safer when doing your practice swim, OKÉ Triathlon will have a limited number of swim buoys to use for training. You can pick-up a buoy at their Technical Services kiosk located near the Transition Zone. To accommodate more athletes, reservation for these buoys will be offered on an hourly basis. 17

CENTRE LINE ON MONTEE RYAN Please note that YOUR centre line on Montée Ryan is blue and that you must always stay on the right side of this blue line LOCAL TRAFFIC LAWS Please remember that members of the local community use sections of the bike course roads. During the race, about 90% of bike course is closed to vehicles, and where vehicles can circulate, they do so on shoulders. You always have the main road and shoulders are reserved for local traffic and organization vehicles. Note that you always have the main road on the autoroute 117. When you are training on the course, realize that you are an ambassador for the sport and the event and the impact of your actions 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 respectful to the resident 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. When training, please follow these suggestions: Please ride single file with a maximum of 15 riders and never ride side by side. This is not just for your safety but also to ensure local drivers can get where they need to go without delay and frustration. Always run on sidewalks or on the multifunctional trail and never on the road. Please obey traffic laws (stop at stop signs, signal when turning, etc.). Please do not use private property as a toilet. There are plenty of local stores along the way with public bathrooms please use them! 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. Please wear a helmet during all official activities when you are riding your bike. This includes, competition, course familiarization and training sessions 20
