There will be a small change of events this year with high winds causing concern about the safety of the athletes. The course has been changed to reflect forecasted winds in the area.
“Organisers of tomorrow’s URBAN Hotel Group IRONMAN® Asia Pacific Championship Melbourne have changed the swim to two laps to protect against forecasted strong winds.
The swim venue off Frankston, on the Mornington Peninsula, has experienced choppy conditions as the bay is exposed to the strong north-northwest winds that have blown this week.” – TriZone.com.au
