5RACE DIRECTOR UPDATES
Hello and welcome to 2015 IRONMAN 70.3 Ballarat, the second edition of this exciting event. After a successful first edition of the event in 2014, the IRONMAN team, local community and athletes alike are all looking forward to getting back to Ballarat for a bigger and better event in 2015, on a spectacular course with tremendous local support.
IRONMAN 70.3 Ballarat is a course that is steeped in history and beauty. From the Swim on Lake Wendouree, the home of the 1956 Olympic rowing and the traditional heart of the Ballarat community. The rowing course provides straight lines to guide your swim and the calm waters make it as close to a swimming pool swim as possible.
The Bike course again showcases some of the best of Ballarat as it takes in views of Lake Wendouree and the picturesque Victoria Park before heading out along Remembrance Drive, underneath the Victory Arch through the fields surrounding Ballarat. The turnaround point is now further north, turning underneath the Western Highway beside the WWI tribute in the newly reconnected Remembrance Drive.
The Run course has changed from the previous 2 lap course to a 3 lap course, taking in a clockwise loop of Lake Wendouree along the Steve Moneghetti Track. Each lap takes in the stunning views of Lake Wendouree from all angles, past the Boatsheds, Restaurants and Gardens. There will be plenty of opportunities to engage with the spectators and loved ones as you travel through the main venue 3 times before soaking in the adulations from the crowd at the finish line.
There will be plenty to keep the spectators engaged and entertained throughout race day. From the Sovereign Hill’s Red Coat Soldiers with their shotgun start, through to cheering you down the finish line from the Lake View Lounge! There will be entertainment, giveaways, plenty of food and drink options, the event Expo and plenty of christmas festivities.
The Tri-Club Village has also now been moved right next to the finish line and on the edge of Lake Wendouree, with fantastic interaction opportunities with athletes on the Run Course and through the finish chute. The H Troon Teams tent will again be a hive of activity for the Relay Team members to cheer and support your team mates throughout race day. All in all, we are set for another fantastic event and we are looking forward to seeing everyone in Ballarat for what promises to be a fantastic weekend of IRONMAN 70.3 Racing.
There are some important things to note this year with regards to the recent technical updates in particular. IRONMAN Asia-Pacific have worked closely with Triathlon Australia to ensure there is close alignment and consistency in rules between Triathlon Australia’s Race Competition Rules (July 2015) and IRONMAN’s Global Competition Rules 2015. Some of the key updates are;
The draft zone will remain at 12 metres long, measured from leading edge of front wheel of front cyclist to front wheel of trailing cyclist. An athlete must immediately move to the side upon entering the draft zone of another athlete when passing (i.e. no slipstreaming) and must continuously progress through the draft zone. A maximum of 25 seconds will be allowed for each pass.
Race Penalty Cards being used are now Yellow (Stop and Go Penalty), Blue (Time Penalty - Five Minute Penalty) and Red (Disqualification). Any combination of three cards (Yellow or Blue) will result in a disqualification (Red Card).
The cut-off temperatures where athletes will be allowed to wear wetsuits are now up to and including 21.9C / 71.5F for Pro Athletes and 24.5C / 76.1F for Age Group Athletes.
More information can be found on our website.
Finally, the Ballarat community and volunteers are ready and waiting to support you during your IRONMAN 70.3 journey. The town and region surrounding Ballarat is amongst the most storied, historic, picturesque and welcoming regions in Victoria. I encourage you to take the time to explore the City of Ballarat and the Ballarat region in general. I wish you, your family and friends all the best for your time in Ballarat and for your race day experience.
See you at the start line.

6MESSAGE FROM RACE REFEREE
We are using the Triathlon Australia (TA) Race Competition 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 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 12 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 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 70.3 goals.

A Relay Team member cannot sign a waiver on another member’s behalf. For more information please view our Relay Teams Page under the Athletes tab on the website.

Basic first aid support can also be obtained at the Bike and Run Aid Stations.
It is strongly advised that you have adequate personal insurance regardless of whether you are an Australian resident or from overseas. We highly recommend that Australian residents hold valid private health insurance and that international athletes check with their travel insurance or personal insurance provider to confirm what they are covered for.
Under Australian legislation, all non-Australian residents are not covered for medical costs or ambulance transport costs. If you have an accident you must pay for your own medical expenses and transport. Hence it is recommended you obtain adequate personal medical insurance or travel insurance with the relevant coverage.
We advise Australian residents to notify IRONMAN of their Medicare number prior to the event. Please note if you are transported by an ambulance to hospital and do not hold an Ambulance Victoria membership, you will be invoiced for the service. For more information on Ambulance Victoria memberships, please visit www.ambulance.vic.gov.au
SAG WAGONThe Sag Wagon will collect athletes who are unable to complete the event, or are unable to finish within the course cut-off time. Collected athletes will be transported to the closest Aid Station, back to Transition/Finish Line or as close as possible.
Should you require a Sag Wagon at any time, please wave down a motorbike official and they will contact IRONMAN for Sag Wagon deployment. Alternatively advise volunteers at the nearest Aid Station.
Please note delays in Sag Wagon transport are expected. To assist with a prompt response, please do not move from your reported location once a Sag Wagon has been requested as this could affect their ability to locate and transport you.

15TRANSITION
TRANSITION PROCEDURETransition opens at 6.00am and closes at 7.15am on race day.
TRANSITION 1 (Swim to Bike)Upon finishing the swim and exiting the water, athletes will run up the Windmill Drive Swim Exit and across a timing mat.
At the Swim Exit, you will travel approximately 100m before you reach a water station and enter the Transition area and find your bike racked in numerical order. Athletes are able to equip themselves for the bike leg at their bike location.
TRANSITION 2 (Bike to Run) As you dismount your bike in the Bike Finish Chute, you are responsible for taking your bike to your numbered racking within Transition and racking the bike up correctly. Your helmet must remain on and secured until your bike is racked. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.
Athletes are able to equip themselves for the run leg at their allocated bike rack location, or otherwise change in the allocated male and female change tents located at the entry to Transition from the swim.
Upon exiting Transition, athletes will pass the Transition Water Station before heading north onto the run course.
For more information on Transition Rules, please see the website.
RELAY TEAM TRANSITIONRelay Team Transition will be open from 6.00am – 7.15am on Sunday morning for the cyclist only. At 7.15am, all Relay Team cyclists must exit the Transition area. Relay Team’s Transition will re-open at the discretion of the Transition manager after Pro Athletes have exited for the cycle.
Swimmers will exit the water and meet their cyclist at their allocated numbered bike position, handing their timing chip to the cyclist. The cyclist must wait until they are in possession of the timing chip before un-racking their bike. The timing chip acts as the relay baton, the swimmer must start with the timing chip and the runner must cross the Finish Line wearing this around their ankle.
Once the swimmer has handed over the timing chip they must leave the Transition area immediately (via the Relay Team’s entry/exit point). Once the cyclist commences their bike leg, the runner is allowed into the Transition area. Please follow directions of all Race Officials and Volunteers.
When the cyclist returns, they will rack their bike back in its allocated numbered position and hand the timing chip to the runner. The cyclist must then leave the Transition area immediately once they have handed the runner their timing chip (via the Relay Team’s entry/exit point).
Be sure to familiarise yourself with the flow of Transition including the Relay Teams entry/exit point and Relay Teams recovery. There will be a Relay Team’s holding area near the Relay Teams Tent. Relay Teams can then cross the Finish Line together.
Relay Teams will receive their finisher towel and medal upon finishing. If not all members of the Relay Team cross the Finish Line together, then the runner may pick up their Relay Team members medals and towels.

19IRONMAN 70.3 SWIMSTART
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 familiarise 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.
• If you have any concerns about your heart health, we recommend you consult with your GP prior undertaking the event.
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 and exit layouts along with the turning 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.
