Description: Ironman Malaysia takes place on Langkawi, a popular island resort destination in Malaysia. It's tough not because of the course, which consists of a very warm swim, a rolling bike and a relatively flat run course. It's tough because it can get really hot, especially during the run. How hot? In 2001 temperatures that reached 43 degrees Celsius (which is very close to 110 degrees Fahrenheit for anyone who thinks in those terms).

Swim
Distance: 3.8km
Description: The day begins with a two-loop swim in Kuah Bay which starts and finishes alongside a giant eagle statue that dominates the Jetty Point port area.

Bike
Distance: 180km
Description: The revised bike course is 177km long and consists of one large loop (55k) and 3 x small loops (37.5k) plus 9.5k to finish. We avoid the crowded section of Padang Matsirat Rd between Lubuk Semilang and Air Hangat Rds until the end of the bike course as the competitors come back to the finish.

Run
Distance: 42.2km
Description: It is the run that makes the race in Langkawi so tough. The terrain isn't that challenging - it's the heat that the athletes face as they go through the marathon that makes things difficult. After the fourth loop is complete, they run one kilometer back to the jetty, and end the day at the beautiful finish line which is just meters short of the spectacular eagle statue, a welcome beacon at the end of what will no-doubt be a tough day of racing.
