GEORGINA WESTGARTH , EVENT MANAGER TRIATHLON WA The finish line is in sight! You’ve done the training, the anticipation is building and race day is finally here. You should feel immensely proud to be part of the 16th SunSmart Busselton Festival of Triathlon. It’s a hive of activity with the Funky Trunks Open Water Swim, SunSmart Kids Triathlon and Mizuno Fun Run, the Health & Lifestyle Expo culminating with the crescendo of IRONMAN 70.3 and we’re excited to host you.

To our individual athletes, professional athletes and teams you’ve done the hard part preparing, so have fun competing then celebrate your achievements at the after party celebrations on Sunday. We take your safety seriously so please adhere to the rules and take direction from the technical officials, event crew and volunteers who are there to help you reach your goal and receive that medal.

Special thanks goes to our cheerful army of volunteers who are the backbone of this event. Without them the festival would not be possible. To our naming rights sponsors SunSmart and Healthway, our major partners Tourism WA, City of Busselton, Department of Sport & Recreation, Royalties for Regions and Department of Regional Development and all other sponsors, TriEvents team, Triathlon WA, stakeholders and supporters, thank you.

On behalf of Muscular Dystrophy WA our charity partner, I would like to thank all of our athletes who are competing to raise awareness and funds for this fantastic cause. To everyone involved, please give generously in the donation tins provided.

Enjoy being part of the 2017 SunSmart Busselton Festival of Triathlon. On your marks, get set, go!

DAVE BUDGE, RACE DIRECTOR TRIEVENTS

You’re a role model.

Welcome to SunSmart Ironman 70.3 Busselton 2017. I’d expect by now that you’re experiencing some level of excitement, nerves and potentially a little anxiety about what lays ahead? That’s natural, we all endure the same feelings at varying levels.

Some of the athletes participating in the event will attract greater levels of focus than others. Through dedication, hard work and a good CV of results they’ve earned that right. That focus brings with it a greater level of expectation and additional pressure to perform at an optimal level. They expect to do well as does everyone who knows them. It comes with the territory.

When you’re contemplating your race tactics and perhaps setting goals for what you’d like to achieve, give some consideration to the fact that although you might not be one of those athletes with the spotlight shining upon you, that you are a role model, you will inspire someone, someone will indeed marvel at your achievements, they could be friends, family or a complete stranger. Whether you’re the first or the final person to cross the finish line there’ll be someone who’ll look at what you’ve achieved and will be filled with pride and admiration. Ultimately they may even take inspiration from your achievements and sign up for next year’s event or some other significant challenge.

So to each and every role model competing in this year’s event, thank you for providing that inspiration, good luck with your race, we look forward to seeing you all at the finish line.

SWIM COURSE: 1.9kmsCUT OFF TIME ON SWIM COURSE:

• INDIVIDUALS: 1 HOUR 10MIN • TEAMS: 1 HOUR

There will be wave starts in the swim to reduce congestion amongst swimmers and to minimise congestion on the bike course. All participants will be asked to know their start wave and time and make their way to the swim start compound on the beach.

It is a one-lap swim course alongside the historic Busselton Jetty. The swim starts on the beach on the east side of Busselton Jetty. The swim heads out to sea for 850m, followed by a right hand turn – swimming away from the jetty. A short straight at the top of the course followed by another right hand turn and head back to shore to the swim exit then into transition.

SWIM STARTThose wanting to warm up for the swim are requested to do so on the eastern (right hand side) of the swim start. Each wave will be invited into the start area before their wave start. Competitors should only enter the start area via the back of the fenced area and ensure they cross the timing mats – this is to ensure all swimmers are accounted for and so we ensure everyone has started in the correct wave.

INDIVIDUAL WAVE STARTS Please note the below wave starts are current as at the 1st April 2017 and are subject to change at the Race Management discretion.
