Welcome back to West-Friesland!
Finally, the time has come: the second edition of IRONMAN 70.3 Westfriesland is upon us. This firstedition without corona measures guarantees an even bigger and more beautiful sport spectacle for thewhole family.
This year will be the biggest edition of the IRONMAN weekend so far: with about three thousand participants spread over the various program components, this promises to be a memorable edition that will
be etched in the memory of athletes, spectators, partners, volunteers and team leaders.
A special word of thanks to the seven West Frisian municipalities, the Province of North Holland and theWestfriesland Events Foundation who, over the past few months, as well as our own amazing volunteers, staff and team leaders, have worked hard to make the event happen.
On behalf of the entire team, I would like to wish you success with the final touches. We hope you havean unforgettable time and, above all, lots of fun during the competition.
With sporty greetings,
Rob Frambach
Race Director IRONMAN 70.3 Westfriesland

FORWORD WESTFRIESLAND EVENTSWELCOME!
We want to give you a warm welcome on the behalf of Westfriesland Events. Great to see that you
challenged yourself to start this adventure in the IRONMAN 70.3 Westfriesland. In this third edition, we
made some improvements which you will see consciously or unconsciously.
Westfriesland Events was created as a collaboration between the West-Frisian municipalities, the initiators of the event, and are supported by the Province of North Holland. Our goal is that the IRONMAN
event is broadly supported by the inhabitants of the municipalities and the businesses in West Friesland.
Another goal is to have a positive contribution to the development of the recreational sport in the region,
the image that West-Friesland wants to create as an active sport- and event region, and that the event
can give a positive impulse to the economy and activities in the region.
The fact that the event also this year can take place is a result of the great work and perseverance of all
stakeholders in the organization of this event. We are grateful to everyone that has contributed to theorganization of the event. Together with Extra leisure, the collaboration of the West Frisian municipalities, and the Province of North Holland, we are looking forward to a spectacular edition of IRONMAN
70.3 Westfriesland. The mentality that you have as the participant has also been shown by the region
450 years ago, which makes the Netherlands the Netherlands as we still know it nowadays. That is why
we hope that you, besides the race, will have some time to discover for example one of the museums,
so you can learn more about the region.
You are in and we wish you all the best for the race.

SWIM
The cut-off times for the swim section are 1.10 hours netto time. This means that you will have 1 hourand 10 minutes to complete the swim course, after you have started.
Start protocol swimming
Make sure you are ready in time (15 minutes before the start at the latest) in the starting area. Whenentering the starting area, it will be checked if you are wearing the swim cap, the wristband and thetiming chip (on the left ankle) correctly. If you are not wearing your swim cap, timing chip and wristband,
you will not be allowed to start. There is a ‘rolling start’. You will stand in the starting area with yourexpected finishing time. Follow the instructions of the organization and volunteers. Keep the buoys on
your left at all times.
• Take your white change bag (clean clothes for after the race) and hang it on the hook of the bag
rack that corresponds to your start number, which can be found in the BLACKROLL Recovery
Finish Zone near the swim start.
• For the start, you can wear flip flops, which you can leave behind just before the start. Everythingleft behind at the swim start will be thrown away by the organization.
• At the rolling start of the swim, you will pass a time registration mat. No time can be taken fromathletes who jump the fences. You must leave the swim course through the official exit and walkover the time registration mat. Otherwise, the organization cannot verify if an athlete is still in
the water and possibly in distress.
• If for any reason you are unable to complete the swim leg, you must report to an official.
• You are obliged to use the swimming cap handed out by the organization.
• IRONMAN The Netherlands has instituted a rolling swim start for its races.
• Athletes line up according to their realistic estimated swim time.
• After you pass the timing mat your race time will start. From that moment on, the cut-off time
applies. We would therefore like to ask you to line up in the starting area with your estimated,
realistic swim time; being in a faster area does not give you an advantage and can only lead tofrustration for yourself and your fellow athletes.
• The results will show your net time, the time started after passing the timing mat.
• Once all individual athletes have started, the relay teams will start.
• Keep the red and yellow buoys on your left at all times.

22

TRANSITION 1: swim to bike
After the swim you will have the first transition. The following things are important to know about thefirst transition:•You pick up the blue change bag containing the bike gear from the rack, which is in front of theexchange tent.
•Then you change your clothes. Changing clothes is only allowed in the changing tent.
•The swimming equipment you put in the blue change bag that you drop in the ‘Drop Off Zone’
behind the tent. Volunteers will make sure that this change bag will be hung back next to yourstart number. You can collect the exchange bags after the race.
•The ground under and around the bike must remain clear at all times. Objects lying on the groundwill be removed.
•Only cycling shoes (if attached to the pedals) may be attached to the bike. A helmet, start number
