Jersey Triathlon Commonwealth Bulletin

Bulletin No 001

Dear Athlete

As Jersey Triathlon Team Manager my role is to keep you up-to-date on any admin, paperwork or procedures relating to Commonwealth Games Gold Coast 2018.

I have all your names and email addresses and will periodically let you know key issues, events and actions. I intend to do this BOTH by email and also publish on a private blog, so that you can look back at previous notes without having to trawl through old emails.

I will not mention athletes names since we do not want to compromise confidentiality or excite tre media or others about potential athletes. Please ensure that we keep our athletes names confidential.

I attended a Commonwealth Games Gold Coast meeting today and here are the key points..

PRINCIPLES AND ELIGIBILITY

I have a .PDF I can email to anyone interested but in essense the “principles” are about competeing with integrity and the “eligibility” is about being Jersey born, of a Jersey parent, or in Jersey for > 5 years and a British passport holder. Please contact me if this is a problem for you.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

My role is Jersey Triathlon Team Manager as outlined above. I am not your coach, but I am here to help. Nick Saunders, I and the Triathlon Committee are meeting on 17 December to make sure that we are all aligned and work as a team. If you have any queries please contact me.

ATHLETES

We have notified Commonwealth Games Gold Coast your names.  I will keep you updated.

There following are non-negotiable “rules” from the Commonwealth Games Association

TRAINING LOG AND OVERVIEW

All Commonwealth Athletes “should” maintain a log of training, testing, performance etc., This is personal to you. But you should have one.

All Commonwealth Athletes “MUST” submit a summary overview of their training every 12 weeks to be allowed to continue as a Commonwealth hopeful. We need to work together to agree what this should look like and what it should contain. You MUST complete these and submit to administrator@cgaj.org on the following dates.

4th April 2016
3rd July 2016
2nd October 2016
31 December 2016

The overview needs to be simple for administrator@cgaj.org They just want evidence of your training, testing, performance etc. All the real detail will be in your personal logbook, spreadsheet, or web-application [what-ever you use?!]. They just need a simple summary sheet on the above dates to see what you have been doing.

Ideally we should all use the same summary overview sheet. We need to work together to agree what this should look like and what it should contain.

OTHER MUST DO ITEMS

All Commonwealth Athletes “MUST” compete off-Island as much as possible and to the highest standard possible.

TESTING

Jersey Triathlon must advise Commonwealth Games Association details, dates, times and venues for all testing.

All Commonwealth Athletes “MUST” attend testing (to be discussed and scheduled with Nick Saunders and the Triathlon Committee) I or Nick will advise dates, times etc. Make sure you keep a log of all tests and their results. You might need this information for eligibility / standards purposes.

SUPPORT

Jersey Triathlon must advise Commonwealth Games Association of all any any support needed. If this is administrative, please liaise via me, if  this is about coiaching, training, performance etc., please liaise via Nick Saunders.

ATHLETE DAY

All Commonwealth Athletes “MUST” attend “athlete days”. Currently these are all-day on 23 April and mid-October 2016 (to be confirmed)
