Ironman Langkawi-Malaysia is soon to take place in the idealic setting of Kuah town. The race is to go ahead as scheduled on February 26, 2006 and there are still openings for those of you looking for a race in the very near future.
The langkawi-Malaysia Ironman first took place in the year 2000 and has since become the favorite of many athletes from around the world.
The swim is a 3.8 km swim in the tranquil waters of the Kuah town Jetty.
The bike is a 2 and one half loop course that takes place on the coastal roads of Langkawi island. The course itself is hilly and undulating
The marathon consists of two 21.1 km. loops on a course that is generally flat but with gradual climbs at the 4-10 and 24-30 km. marks.
From all reports Ironman Langkawi-Malaysia is well organized and supported with great enthusiasm by the local population.
One thing to be aware of and possibly train for is the heat which can be anywhere from 28-35 degrees C. Also, it is a very humid heat and reminds me quite a lot of what one might experience in the Hawaii Ironman in Kona.
