During an awards banquet in 1977 for a Hawai`i running race, a lively discussion about the creation of a major endurance event in Hawai’i occurred. To challenge athletes who had already seen success at a local biathlon (swim/run), the first “Hawai`ian IRONMAN Triathlon” was born. 4 Media Guide: 1.2 SWIM • 56 BIKE • 13.1 RUN The Beginning continuation from page 4 As the conversation continued, Collins began playing with the idea of combining the three toughest endurance races on the island into one race. He decided to issue a challenge. He proposed combining the 2.4-mile Waikiki Roughwater Swim with 112 miles of the Around-O’ahu Bike Race (originally a two-day event and 114 miles), followed by a 26.2-mile run on the same course as the Honolulu Marathon. The event was unveiled at the Waikiki Swim Club Awards Banquet in late 1977. ”The gun will go off about 7 a.m., the clock will keep running and whoever finishes first we’ll call the IRONMAN,” Collins recalls. The first female finisher maintained second place for much of the race before finishing fifth overall. The winning time of 11:15:46, posted by Californian Tom Warren, improved upon Haller’s firstyear mark, and Warren became a minor celebrity when he and the race received exposure in Sports Illustrated. This larger-than-life depiction of the race in Sports Illustrated generated what Collins remembers as a ”shoebox full of hundreds of letters from athletes around the world who wanted to do the race.” ABC Sports called Collins asking his permission to film the 1980 event. Collins agreed as long as ABC brought On Feb. 18, 1978, 15 competitors, its own crew and the filming bore him no including Collins, came to the shores expense. of Waikiki to take on the IRONMAN challenge.

Among the remaining 15 IRONMAN’s signature moment would athletes was Lyn Lemaire, a cyclist from come the following year. Boston, Mass. Media Guide: 1.2 SWIM • 56 BIKE • 13.1 RUN With the men’s championship title already claimed, ABC’s cameras zeroed in on the women’s leader. A college student from San Diego, Julie Moss’ lifeguarding background helped her stay among the early women’s leaders. After a strong bike, she found herself with a sizeable lead in the run. Her energy levels started to dip in the last five miles, however, and another San Diego competitor, Kathleen McCartney, began to cut into Moss’ lead. Moss managed to hang on, sometimes appearing like a punch-drunk fighter as she moved toward the finish line. But with a little more than 20 yards to go, her legs gave out and she fell to the ground. She attempted to get up, but her legs wouldn’t hold her. Rather than give up, she crawled. Race officials and spectators gathered around her, visibly concerned for her well being, as well as amazed by her courage. Although McCartney passed her, Moss won the hearts of those on-hand and millions who later saw her determined effort on television. ABC’s Jim McKay, among the most experienced sports broadcasters in history, called it the most inspiring sports moment he had ever witnessed. Instantly, competing in the IRONMAN became such a hot ticket that organizers instituted a qualifying system to keep the race field more manageable. By any measure, the IRONMAN presents the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit for professional and amateur athletes. And as the IRONMAN Triathlon has emerged into the mainstream, the IRONMAN experience continually transcends pure sport. It centers on the dedication, courage and perseverance exhibited by athletes who demonstrate the IRONMAN mantra that ”ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE®.” 5 The IRONMAN 70.3 Series In 2006, IRONMAN announced the launch of a new event brand: IRONMAN 70.3. While the Half-IRONMAN, consisting of a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike and a 13.1-mile run, had been around for years, the IRONMAN 70.3 Event Series would now offer athletes a consistent experience at races around the globe and for the first time ever, the opportunity to qualify for a World Championship event at that distance. IRONMAN’s Managing Director of Global Race Operations Steve Meckfessel stated, ”The IRONMAN 70.3 name distinguishes our events in quality and level of competition. We believe IRONMAN 70.3 further energizes the sport and fully recognizes the distance accomplished by our athletes.” The excitement among the triathlon community continues to expand, with new and seasoned athletes lining up to participate. When IRONMAN 70.3 was launched in 2006, there were 17 events worldwide. That figure grew to 22 in 2007 and in 2008, athletes had a total of 29 races that served as qualifiers for the 2008 Foster Grant IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, Presented by Ford. Due to overwhelming demand, the 2009 Event Series grew to include 34 events. The global IRONMAN 70.3 Series has expanded significantly over the past three years to now include more than 70 IRONMAN 70.3 events worldwide. In 2011, the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship moved to Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nev., located near the Las Vegas Strip. Starting in 2014, the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will rotate globally on an annual basis. The accomplishment of crossing an IRONMAN 70.3 finish line, coupled with the variety of unique and beautiful venues at which the events are held, makes for truly unforgettable experiences. Whether athletes race just one or several IRONMAN 70.3 events each year, they all embody spirit, passion and determination. Starting in 2014, the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will rotate globally on an annual basis. Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada provides a unique and ideal location for the first international Subaru IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. The 2015 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will be help in Zell am See-Kaprun, SalzburgerLand, Austria and the 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will move to Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia. 6 Media Guide: 1.2 SWIM • 56 BIKE • 13.1 RUN The IRONMAN 70.3 Series En 2006, IRONMAN a annoncé le lancement d’une nouvelle bannière : l’IRONMAN 70.3. Bien que le demi-IRONMAN (composé de 1,2 milles à la nage, 56 milles de vélo et une course de 13,1 milles) existait depuis plusieurs années, la série d’événements officiels IRONMAN 70.3 offrait dorénavant aux athlètes une expérience de course standardisée à travers le monde et pour la première fois, l’occasion de se qualifier pour un championnat du monde sur cette distance. Le directeur général des opérations mondiales d’IRONMAN, Steve Meckfessel, a déclaré : «le nom IRONMAN 70.3 distingue nos événements en termes de qualité et de niveau de compétition. Nous croyons qu’IRONMAN 70.3 dynamise davantage le sport et reconnaît pleinement la distance accomplie par nos athlètes». L’excitation parmi la communauté du triathlon continua à se développer avec des athlètes, nouveaux et chevronnés, qui faisaient la queue pour participer. Lorsqu’IRONMAN 70.3 a été lancé en 2006, il y avait 17 événements à travers le monde. Ce chiffre est passé à 22 en 2007 et en 2008, les athlètes avaient un total de 29 courses qui leur permettaient de se qualifier pour le Championnat du monde Foster Grant IRONMAN 70.3 2008, présenté par Ford. En raison de l’immense demande, la série d’événements grandit pour inclure 34 événements en 2009. La série mondiale d’IRONMAN 70.3 s’est considérablement élargie au cours des trois dernières années pour maintenant inclure plus de 60 événements IRONMAN 70.3 à travers le monde. En 2011, le Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 s’installait à Las Vegas à Henderson, Nevada, situé près de la Las Vegas Strip. À partir de 2014, le Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 effectuera une rotation à l’échelle mondiale sur une base annuelle. Mont-Tremblant, Québec, Canada fournit un emplacement unique et idéal pour le premier Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 international. Le Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 2015 se tiendra à Zell am SeeKaprun, SalzburgerLand, en Autriche et le Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 2016 se déplacera à Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australie. L’accomplissement de franchir une ligne d’arrivée IRONMAN 70.3 combiné à la variété de lieux uniques et magnifiques dans lesquelles les événements se déroulent, font de ces événements une expérience inoubliable. Que les athlètes participent à un ou plusieurs IRONMAN 70.3 chaque année, ils incarnent tous l’esprit, la passion et la détermination. Media Guide: 1.2 SWIM • 56 BIKE • 13.1 RUN 7 MONT-TREMBLANT Information Since the 18th century, people have come to admire the beautiful landscapes throughout the Mont-Tremblant region. Mont-Tremblant, after all, is not only a mountain: it is all the elements that orbit around the highest peak in the Laurentians. The greater MontTremblant area is, in fact, two mountains and three villages, each with its own particular appeal. Divided into five sectors, the region consists of Mont Tremblant Resort, the Village of MontTremblant, the Downtown area of MontTremblant (formerly known as St-Jovite), the Mont Tremblant National Park and the peripheral area. History At the turn of the 20th century, the MontTremblant area became increasingly popular as a summer playground. Guesthouses, inns and hotels sprang up. The surrounding forest, the pure mountain air and the striking beauty of the scenery drew wealthy Montrealers, as well as Americans and Europeans. In 1936, Joe Ryan, an eccentric young American millionaire, was so taken by the scenery from the summit of Mont Tremblant that he decided to build ”the biggest ski centre in the East”. Three years later, Joe Ryan’s dream became a reality. Mont Tremblant Lodge was inaugurated and the ski resort proved to be an immediate success. With the onset of the 1950s with its booming postwar economy, the increasing use of the automobile and a higher standard of living that allowed for more leisure activity, the Laurentians became the playground for middle-class Montrealers and suburbanites. Geography The Ville de Mont-Tremblant is located about 100 kilometres north of Montreal, in the central part of the MRC des Laurentides, and occupies an area of 235 square kilometres of the physiographic 8 area called the Canadian Shield. The land is characterized by exposed rock, lakes and forests, the valley of the Diable River, tall hills and the Parc National de MontTremblant. Close to eight percent of the territory consists of freshwater, including almost 300 kilometres of watercourses (rivers and streams) and over 100 lakes. The quality of the natural landscape makes this area much appreciated by residents, nature-loving vacationers, part-time residents and tourists. Five Sectors of MontTremblant Village of Mont-Tremblant Mont-Tremblant Village is a year-round paradise. Located on the shores of Lake Mercier, this picturesque village offers Bed & Breakfasts, cozy inns, interesting boutiques and great restaurants. Its proximity to the Resort and its sports facilities make the Village a handy pied-a-terre for the visitor. The Village itself with its lakefront beach, art gallery, cabaret-style theatre, summer market and many cultural activities is a treasure to visit, explore and savour. Mont Tremblant Resort and surroundings The international reputation of Mont Tremblant as a ski resort has not wavered since its grand opening in 1939, mainly because of its natural snow and the exceptional quality of its runs. Over the years, its renowned snowmaking capacity has added to its stellar reputation. Today Tremblant, with its golf courses, spa, Beach and Tennis Club and more, has become one of the most frequented four- season resorts in North America thanks to the quality of its infrastructure, the diversity of its offering and the international prestige of the sporting and cultural events that take place here. The main attraction, which inevitably charms every visitor, is the pedestrian village where boutiques, restaurants and pubs, art galleries and mini-golf, swimming and ziplining, and night life that ends when the sun rises, provide something for everyone. Not to mention the Versant Soleil, home of the Mont-Tremblant Casino, a place where the heavens meet the earth. The Casino creates a friendly yet modern and elegant haven that is in complete harmony with its natural environment. Downtown Mont-Tremblant The Downtown, or Centre-ville, is the hub of the Mont-Tremblant region, a role it has been proud to play for more than a hundred years. There’s so much to discover—the beautiful old stone church, the heritage buildings, the shady terraces, the antique dealers and small boutiques—and so many reasons to extend your vacation. The many stores, restaurants, and cultural and artistic events make Downtown Mont-Tremblant a place where life is good, all year round. Mont-Tremblant Park National Located in the Laurentides and Lanaudière tourist regions, this huge park is divided into three major sectors: Le Diable Sector, La Pimbina Sector and L’Assomption Sector. In this magnificent park you can enjoy myriad outdoor activities such as canoeing, kayaking, hiking and camping. Peripheral area The greater region of Mont-Tremblant is packed with places where you, your family and friends will find as many sporting and cultural activities to do as there are days in your vacation… and then some. The Domaine SaintBernard for instance, a protected territory located in the heart of MontTremblant, offers 1500 acres of forest and a vast network of trails for biking, hiking, cross-country skiing and more. The Velan Astronomy Pavilion, located at the domaine, is the only observation centre in the Laurentians. Stargazing sessions are hosted every Saturday night starting at 8 p.m. continue on page 9 Media Guide: 1.2 SWIM • 56 BIKE • 13.1 RUN MONT-TREMBLANT Information Activities In this area there are close to 3,600 accommodation units spread across about 20 establishments, plus more than 75 restaurants and shops as well as a casino surrounded by the beauties of nature. In fact, the diversity of elements in the Ville de Mont-Tremblant is sure to provide citizens, vacationers and tourists with a wide range of services, attractions and activities during spring, summer, fall and winter. Fans of outdoor sports will enjoy the many activities available in the area: golf, cycling, water sports, fishing, rafting, tennis, climbing, horseback riding, skating and cross-country skiing are just some activities you can enjoy. Since June 2014, visitors and residents alike have been able to enjoy a unique experience thanks to the guided Tyrolean zipline tours consisting of five lines that carry participants above the treetops. This Ziptrek Ecotours installation offers a unique view of the Laurentians as it traverses the mountain from top to bottom. The guides provide information on environmental issues during the short walks between the zip lines. To relax after a day of activities, visitors may choose to wind down at a spa, savour a mouth-watering meal at one of the many restaurants, or perhaps enjoy the unparalleled nightlife.

Considering the accomplishments and abilities of professional athletes ranging from Craig Alexander and Melissa Hauschildt to Age Group and Physically Challenged athletes such as Dominique Benassi and Hector Picard, it will take quite a fitness explosion for the media to refer to IRONMAN 70.3 athletes as, well… ”Average Joes.” With this interest on extraordinary feats, it is easy to overlook the fact that most competitors hold more in common with the general population than one might expect. They are professors, attorneys, and firemen. The most common occupations seen among athletes lining up in Mont-Tremblant are Business Owner and Management. IRONMAN 70.3 Athlete Demographic: Average Age: 41 Gender Ratio: 66% male, 34% female Education (Post Secondary): 86 % Occupation (Professional; Executive): 67 % Household Income: More than $100K You could be thinking, ”I could do that, but what does it take to train?” Never fear, there are average times for this, too. The average hours per week devoted to training for IRONMAN 70.3 generally fall between 10 and 30-plus hours. Many competitors also cross-train with weight training, stretching and yoga, among other activities.

A supreme test of physical and mental toughness, events in the IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 Series require both courage and determination, in addition to physical preparation. While each athlete overcomes his or her own personal challenges on the road to becoming an IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 finisher, some must overcome not only the challenges that IRONMAN offers, but the physical challenges life has imposed on them as well. Since 1982, several physically challenged athletes have seen success in IRONMAN. Among the physically challenged participants, heroes have emerged including Joseph Raineri, a blind athlete from Delaware who became the first physically challenged athlete to finish the race, and the race’s first deaf competitor, Michael Russo of New York, who competed in 1984. In 1991, Jim McLaren, a former Division I football player from California who had lost the lower part of his left leg in a motorcycle accident, received worldwide attention when he completed the race biking and running with a custom-designed prosthesis. In 1994, Dr. Jon Franks, a paraplegic athlete from Venice Beach, California, petitioned the organization to allow him to compete in the race using a handcycle for the bike portion of the event and a racing wheelchair for the marathon. The possibility of his participation stirred debate in the triathlon community. Some felt that Franks’ not actually running the marathon portion of the race would compromise the nature of the challenge. allotted cutoff times for each discipline. In all, eight athletes competed in the newly formalized PC Division. Among them was Clarinda Brueck, a 43-year old teacher from New Jersey. Brueck, who was born without the lower portion of her left arm, eloquently summed up the significance of this competition. “I want physically challenged children to feel what I felt when I first completed a triathlon,” she said. “For the first time in my life, I felt I was competing with and even excelling above able-bodied individuals. That’s an empowering, lifechanging experience. And competing in the IRONMAN Triathlon World Championship emphatically allows you to say, ‘If I can complete this race, there’s nothing in life that I can’t do.’” Although Franks did not finish the event, millions watching NBC’s race coverage saw his determination to climb the last hill of the bike course and counted him among the race’s true winners. His efforts, as well as the growth in the number of physically challenged individuals involved in athletics, A formal division was established for generated a groundswell of interest. the IRONMAN World Championship in 1997 after years of careful research The physically challenged division was and planning. In 2006, a formal division given a “test run” in 1994, 1995, and was also established at the inaugural 1996 with demonstration participation IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. by wheelchair athletes. There are two different categories In 1996, John MacLean from Australia within the Physically Challenged completed the event within the overall Division: handcycle and physically time of 17 hours and, in 1997, became challenged. The handcycle division is the first athlete to use a hand-cranked comprised of athletes who will use a bicycle to finish the event within the hand cranked cycle on the bike segment and a racing chair on the run. Due to the level of interest from handcycle athletes, qualifying races were established. Athletes now must compete for starting slots at IRONMAN 70.3 Buffalo Springs Lake or IRONMAN 70.3 Cairnes. Three physically challenged athletes gained entry through the Physically Challenged Lottery, to compete at this year’s Subaru IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. 34 Media Guide: 1.2 SWIM • 56 BIKE • 13.1 RUN Volunteers The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship relies heavily on the support of the local community for nearly 2,000 volunteers.
