A big Malaysian welcome to all athletes racing in the Ironman 70.3 Putrajaya on October 4. We are only three weeks away from the race and activities at Putrajaya are hotting up. Following the unfortunate postponement of the race from it’s original time in July we have been working hard with government and all relevant authorities to make sure that the October race not only goes ahead but delivers to you, the athletes, the best possible experience. We can tell you that all is on track to do this.
We know that you will be knocked out by the location of the race and particularly the lake side finish area right in front of the fabulous Pullman Putrajaya Hotel. In fact the Pullman is the site of the majority of race week activities and the location of our post race buffet banquet - more on this later.
Let us now detail for you some of the latest updates on the race:
Race Course: We have changed the finish location to be in front of the Pullman Hotel overlooking the lake and the swim area. This means that the run is now a 2 lap run. Still featuring the picturesque lakeside track and the stunning architecture that makes up the heart of Putrajaya’s Parliamentary Zone. The run now takes you around the Pullman before coming back onto the lakeside pathway , heading under the landmark bridge leading to the Parliamentary Zone before looping back and over the bridge to the turnaround point near the Putrajaya Mosque and the PM’s Office!
Aid Stations: Gatorade will be the electrolyte drink on both the bike and run courses. There will be two aid stations on each of the three bike laps, situated approximately every 15km. These will be serving Gatorade and water. On the run there will be stations every 1km serving Gatorade, water, cola fruit and Powerbar bars and gels. It will be hot on race day so please make sure that you get the drinks that you need at both the bike and run aid stations.
Race Hotels: there are links in the website to both the Pullman and the Shangri-La hotels. As we have said previously, the majority of the race functions are taking place at the Pullman including registration, carbo loading party and the post race buffet.
Post Race Buffet and Awards Ceremony: Have you ever wondered why you have to wait till hours after the race to get the Awards Dinner? Well now you don’t! Immediately following the finish of the race you will be able to access a full post race buffet banquet as your reward for a hard days work. You can go straight there or shower in your room or at the Recreation Centre and then meet you family and friends at the buffet. (Don’t forget that you will need to purchase tickets for your supporters to join you and these will be available at the registration .) What better way to celebrate your race.
Race Start time: Don’t forget that the race will start at a very civilized 8.00am. Transition will open at 6am and the Pro Athletes will hit the water at 8am followed by agegroup athletes from 8.05am. Check your wave start time on the notice board at Registration.
World Championship Slot Allocations: Are you racing to win one of the 25 slots that are available for the Foster Grant Ironman 70.3 World Championships? If so then you need to pay close attention to the following procedure. Automatic qualifyers will be listed (check the location at Registration) and if you have secured one of the slots then you MUST collect your slot between 16.30 and 17.15. Slots not collected by 17.15 will be called one more time for the automatic qualifiers and then rolled down. Details of what you need to do to collect the slot will be posted at Registration and also included in the race briefing. Don’t miss out on your slot by not understanding the procedures and the timing.
We are looking forward to seeing all athletes at Putrajaya in three weeks time for the first Ironman 70.3 in Malaysia. Keep an eye on the website for any updates that may be posted between now and then.
We wish you safe training and safe travel.
Best regards
A. Chandrakumanan and Graeme Hannan |
