Rules 17 Qualifying for the 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 WC 18 September 4, 2016 in Sunshine Coast, Australia Special Program Information 20 IRONMAN All World Athlete and TriClub Programs 2016 SUBARU IRONMAN 70.3 MONT-TREMBLANT PRESENTED BY SPORTIUM - ATHLETE GUIDE 2 MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD REFEREE 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 5-minute 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. Yan Therrien The POSITION violations are summarized: Always ride on the right side of your lane to avoid an ILLEGAL POSITION or BLOCKING call. HEAD REFEREE 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. DRAFTING VIOLATION BLUE CARD Passed athletes must be seen making immediate and constant rear progress out of the drafting zone to avoid a DRAFTING call. 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 ! ! 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, otherwise you will get a blue penalty card. ! UNAUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT Sorry, absolutely NO communication devices, MP3 players, cell phones, iPod or other audio devices. There will be no exception to this rule. ! OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE Non-racers may NOT ride or run alongside you. This will result in a penalty that could lead to disqualification. ! 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. 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. 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, i.e. as soon as you take your bike off the bike rack and only off once the bike has been placed back on the bike rack. Please treat other athletes, all volunteers, and your referees with courtesy and consideration. Not doing so is UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT and may result in disqualification.

From there, you will enjoy the view of the sheltering mountains around this lovely, pristine lake. Lac Tremblant is a clean freshwater lake, with relatively calm waters at this time of the year; the average water temperature on race day should be a comfortable 65F/18C. The swim ends at the beach park (Parc Plage), 300 meters from the transition point, at a small beach near the Quintessence Hotel, the region’s most luxurious hotel. NOTE: Buoys are approximate on the swim map. We suggest athletes view the buoys the day before the race to establish sight lines.

Course officials and medical personnel reserve the right to remove athletes from the course if determined medically necessary. • 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.

CHECK OUT THE COURSE • Get comfortable with the course by checking out water conditions, the swim entry, exit layouts, along with turn buoy locations. • I dentify 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. •R elax and focus on proper breathing technique as you settle into a sustainable pace. 10.

Final Slot Allocation will be determined on race day based on the number of official starters in each Age Group. Please Note: We advise that athletes call their bank/credit card company prior to Slot Allocation/Rolldown to arrange for the charge. 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 of the ceremony. Anyone who wishes to claim a Rolldown slot must attend the IRONMAN 70.3 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 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 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 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship Slot Allocation and Rolldown Ceremony in that Age Group, that unclaimed 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 reallocated slot (if applicable), and so on. 2016 SUBARU IRONMAN 70.3 MONT-TREMBLANT PRESENTED BY SPORTIUM - ATHLETE GUIDE 18 2016 SUBARU IRONMAN 70.3 MONT-TREMBLANT PRESENTED BY SPORTIUM - ATHLETE GUIDE 19 ALL WORLD ATHLETE The 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 ranking system. 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] BENEFITS FOR THIS RACE: * Priority Access to Athlete registration * All World Athlete logo on bibs VENTE ENTRETIEN LOCATION COACHING OKÉ se démarque des autres boutiques de triathlon par son expertise unique du volet natation 9150 Claveau, Montréal | www.oketriathlon.com Nagez et Courez avec OKÉ Triathlon!
