In accordance with the ITU rules, your age is deemed to be your age as at 31 December 2019.
Here’s an example of how this works:
Andrea turns 40 in July 2019.
TriAthy 2019 is in June, before her 40th birthday.
So even though Andrea will be 39 when she races in Athy, the rules state that she must race in the 40-44 category because her age will be 40 on 31 December 2019.
Your Age category will be automatically generated when you enter!
