Important rules to remember
FORD IRONMAN COZUMEL will operate under the “three strikes and you’re out” principle. Even though DRAFTING is the only violation to incur a time penalty (to be served in the nearest penalty tent at various spots on the bike course), any type of violation counts toward your three strikes.

For example:

• DRAFTING violation (four minutes served in a bike course penalty tent)
• HELMET CHINSTRAP violation
• LITTERING violation – a third violation results in disqualification (DQ)

Again, any combination of three rule violations will result in a DQ. To maximize your understanding of the rules on race day, please take the time to read and understand the following summary of Position Violations.

• Always ride on the right side of your lane to avoid an ILLEGAL POSITION or BLOCKING call
• Keep four bike lengths (7 meters) between your bike’s front wheel and the rear wheel of the cyclist in front of you to avoid a DRAFTING call
• Always pass on the left of the cyclist in front of you, never on the right to avoid an ILLEGAL PASS call
• Complete your pass within 20 seconds to avoid a DRAFTING call
• If passed, drop back four bike lengths before attempting to re-pass to avoid an OVERTAKEN or DRAFTING call Ironman Triathlon is an individual event, and it is your responsibility to fully understand the rules and avoid penalties. In the case of Position Violations, the referees’ ruling is final and is not open to protests or appeals. The following are several other common rules violations:
• HELMET CHINSTRAP — the chinstrap of your helmet must be securely fastened whenever you are on possession of your bike on race day!
• RACE NUMBER — you must display your race number during the bike and run portions of the race, and your bike number must be properly attached to your bike and be visible.
• LITTERING — do not throw away ANYTHING outside of official aid stations!
• UNAUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT — sorry, absolutely no cell phones, MP3 players, Oakley Thumps, iPods or other audio listening devices!
• OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE — do NOT accept any assistance from anyone other than a race official, and do NOT have non-racers ride or run alongside you!

You must go to a penalty tent for any violation to have your number marked, and all violations count toward your three strikes. There will be no penalty tents on the run. If you are penalized on the run, the official will mark your number on the spot.

Please remember to treat other athletes, volunteers and your race officials with courtesy and consideration. Not doing so is considered UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT and may result in direct disqualification.
