WELCOME NOTE
GEORGINA WESTGARTH , EVENT MANAGER
TRIATHLON WA
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for supporting this event.
Thank you. Community events need your ongoing support and this one is no exception. The
community includes the athletes, supporters, volunteers, triathlon clubs, technical officials,
suppliers, contractors, stakeholders and event partners. You create the life force behind what we
do and we simply couldn’t do this without you.
Here at Triathlon Western Australia, our aim is to stage a safe and enjoyable SunSmart Busselton Festival of Triathlon,
incorporating the IRONMAN 70.3 Busselton. This year we have made some significant changes to the event, such as the day
format, created a new swim course, introduced new fan zones with entertainment, updated the run course, brought you a
new festival event and created a recovery day on Sunday. You can also party on Saturday night once again! We have done
this to keep the event fresh, in-particular for those repeat offenders, to keep you wanting to come back. We like to keep the
event evolving and try new things. This has also been done based upon feedback and survey results because we listen to
what you say and what you want. Your experience matters. The old favourites remain, including food vendors, the Health &
Lifestyle Expo and the live commentary and big screen action.
Triathlon Western Australia own and manage this event, we licence the IRONMAN brand but we are a not-for-profit
organisation, representing the sport of Triathlon in WA. We invest all profits back into the sport to further develop triathlon,
with Triathlon Club Grants and programs such as the Athlete Talent Pathway. We are proud of being able to do this and your
ongoing support of this event will enable TWA to continue to do this.
I hope you enjoy what we have created and join in the festival vibe. We want to hear the screams of support for our athletes,
see the smiles and emotions when you cross the finish line and hear the big Thank You’s to our volunteers, technical officials
and crew throughout the weekend.
See you in Busselton!
DAVE BUDGE, RACE DIRECTOR
THE EVENT TEAM
The SunSmart Busselton Festival of Triathlon is a very unique event. It’s an event that is held very
dear to the triathlon community in WA. Its our cup day, our grand final, our Western derby. It’s an
event with a long history, a history that originated in Collie before it moved to its spiritual home
on Rottnest Island, a venue that we ultimately outgrew.
In 2002 we found a home in Busselton and it’s been our home ever since. Over the past 17 years
our event has grown into one of the iconic mass participation sporting events in WA. People who aren’t involved in our great
sport know about “the Busso Half”. It’s become a bucket list item for those looking for a sporting challenge, and the biggest
day of the year those in the sport.
Apart from the experience, the greatest thing about the event is that it’s owned and managed by the sport. Triathlon WA
have delivered this great event since day one. The event is not owned by a multinational equity company driven by profit.
It’s an event for triathletes put on by triathletes. The profits go back into funding grass roots development of the sport.
Triathlon clubs, triathlon juniors, and triathlon race officials to name a few who have benefited from our great event.
So to everyone involved in the event, participants, volunteers, race officials, sponsors and stakeholders, enjoy the day, enjoy
each other, have fun creating wonderful memories with this great event.

A MESSAGE FROM THE RACE REFEREE
On behalf of Triathlon Australia, I’d like to welcome all athletes taking part in the SunSmart IRONMAN 70.3 Busselton
event, which in 2019, is also the Australian Long Course Championships and the Western Australian State Long Course
Championships
The team of technical officials appointed to the event are here to ensure you have a safe, fun, fair and memorable event.
As part of ensuring those aspects of the event we also need to conduct the event with respect to the Triathlon Australia
Race Competition Rules (TARCR) and the IRONMAN 2018* Competition Rules. (*Please note, that although IRONMAN have
released their 2019 Competition Rules, it will be the 2018 rules in effect at this race).
The Athlete Information Guide contains the answers for the majority of questions you will have in regards to the event.
Please take the time to read and understand the contents of the guide. Should you have any remaining queries not
answered by reading the Athlete Guide or the relevant rules, I will be happy to chat with you over the event weekend.
I encourage all athletes to familiarise themselves with the TARCR and the 2018 IRONMAN rules applicable to this event.
Failure to abide by the rules may result in you receiving a penalty. In particular, remember to treat other athletes, volunteers,
officials and spectators with courtesy and consideration as failure to do so is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and may
result in a disqualification.
We are especially lucky to have the support of the City of Busselton and the scenic and picturesque surrounds of Geographe
Bay and Tuart Forest in which to conduct the event. Littering in these environs creates a long lasting visual impact and
potential hazards for the local flora and fauna. Littering is also in contravention of both the TARCRs and IRONMAN rules. I
remind all athletes to only dispose of litter at the designated zones; any littering outside these zones may result in a penalty
or disqualification.
Celebrating your achievements with family, friends and team mates after an event of this size is an important part of
IRONMAN racing however, the finish chute and finish line area is for athletes only. This is for the safety of you, your fellow
athletes and your family and friends. Any athlete being accompanied down the finish chute by non competitors will be
disqualified.
I hope you have a great race and achieve your goals at SunSmart IRONMAN 70.3 Busselton, and I look forward to seeing you
all reach the finish.

2019 SUNSMART IRONMAN 70.3 BUSSELTON • ATHLETE INFORMATION GUIDE PAGE 16SWIM COURSE: 1.9km
CUT 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, ‘M’ shaped swim course commencing in front of the Goose, alongside the historic Busselton Jetty. The swim
heads out alongside the jetty for 400m, followed by a right hand turn and travelling east for 50m. Athletes will then make
another right hand turn, swimming 500m towards shore, exiting the water to run around the marker before heading
back out to the water. Athletes will then swim 400m away from shore, make a right hand turn, swimming 50m east, make
another right hand turn to swim 500m into the swim exit in front of Barnyard Park, as in previous years.
SWIM START
Those wanting to warm up for the swim are requested to do so on the west (left hand side) of the main jetty. 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 & TEAM WAVE STARTS
Please note the below wave starts are current as at 8 April 2019 and are subject to change at the Race Management
discretion.

2019 SUNSMART IRONMAN 70.3 BUSSELTON • ATHLETE INFORMATION GUIDE PAGE 17WETSUITS
The Triathlon Australia appointed Technical Delegate will take the water temperature 24 hours before race start and the
reading will be displayed at race registration on Friday 3 May, 2019. The water temperature will be taken again on Race
Morning and the wearing of wetsuits will be conditional upon the water temperature. The expected water temp for May will

your numbered bike rack.
• If the water temperature is NOT greater than 24.5oC, wetsuits are optional
• If the combined air and water temperature are deemed dangerously low, the race referee (in conjunction with water
safety) can rule it a compulsory wetsuit swim. This has occurred in the past so it is advised that all athletes bring a
wetsuit.
If a wetsuit is to be worn, then:
• The wetsuit must be tight to the body while swimming. If any part of the wetsuit can separate from the body in any
phase of the stroke it is considered an artificial propulsion device and the wetsuit is banned.
• The wetsuit must NOT be thicker than 5mm and must comply with Triathlon Australia Rules. A standard variance will
be allowed to account for seams and jersey material (non-buoyant). Speedo Tri Elite Full sleeved wetsuit is BANNED.
• A full wetsuit covering arms and legs IS allowed.
If a swimsuit or speed suit or trisuit is to be worn:
• The garment must be 100% textile material which generally refers to swimsuits made only from nylon or lycra that do
not have any rubberised material such as polyurethane or neoprene.
SWIM COURSE RULES
• Athletes must wear the swim cap provided in their registration pack.
• No fins, aqua socks, gloves, paddles, snorkels or flotation devices of any kind are allowed.
• Swim goggles and facemasks may be worn.
• No individual paddlers or escorts allowed.
• Any assistance that results in forward progress being made may result in a disqualification.
• Athletes are permitted to hold on to water safety craft so long as no forward progress is made.
• Water safety and/or medical personnel reserve the right to remove an athlete from the course if deemed medically
necessary.
• Athletes found not to have completed the entire swim course will be disqualified.
TRANSITION PROCEDURE SWIM-BIKE (T1)
At the swim finish you will pass through a timing chute to the showers then into transition. Move to your bike to remove
your swim gear (wetsuit, swim cap and goggles). Only discard your swim gear at your bike.
