JERSEY TRIATHLON COMMONWEALTH
BULLETIN NO 004 – UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2016
There has been an extended quiet period since the last
Bulletin No 003 and I feel it is useful to post something to keep everyone up-to-speed
and ensure both transparency and understanding about Commonwealth Games Gold
Coast 2018
CHANGES IN RACE, SELECTION AND
CRITERIA
Hopefully everyone already knows that Commonwealth Games
Gold Coast 2018 has been changed from Olympic Distance to a Sprint Distance
Race. This has forced a re-think on the Race, Selection And Criteria and
the JTC Committee are working with the Jersey Commonwealth Games Association to
agree standards, KPIs etc. At the same time we are also working with the
JCGA in respect of the Triathlon Relay. We are hoping to conclude this soon and
will publish the criteria and KPI’s as soon as possible.
This potentially opens up new possibilities and new
opportunities for new people.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND
TESTS
As noted above, these are yet to be finalised/agreed with
Jersey Commonwealth Games Association but as a heads-up we are likely to do
this…
1.
There are two swim KPI’s –the KPI’s are
based on 400m and 750m
2.
There are two run session KPI’s - the KPI is based on 3000m and 5000m
Additionally, as you know from email bulletins we have the
next test soon…
14
September - Run Time Trial - 3,000m at FB fields
The idea is that we accumulate some performance results and
track people's progress. If you cannot make this session we will be able to do
another. These time trials will also be attended by the Island Games
Hopefuls and also Academy standard juniors
The Team
Coach is Nick Saunders, if you need detailed information about the tests please
contact Nick. At the very least we should be able to indicate the swim/run
times others are doing to give you a realistic understanding of the standards
etc.
REGISTERED ATHLETES
We have a list of Commonwealth hopefuls and have notified
that list to the Commonwealth Games Association. Given the above situation we
have ‘re-opened’ expressions of interest a while ago via email. Hopefully
everyone is informed and up-to-date. If you believe someone isn’t please let me
know.
LOGS BOOKS AND UPDATES
One of the things that has NOT changed is the need to maintain
log-books. We intend that all our athletes use the “training peaks” log book
system and the 12 weekly reports to Commonwealth Games Association [administrator@cgaj.org] will be based
on a summary output from this system for each athlete.
Log books should be submitted to Commonwealth Games Association [administrator@cgaj.org] on each of
these dates
4th April 2016
3rd July 2016
2nd October 2016
31 December 2016
If you have any comments or concerns about this please get
in contact.
PERFORMANCE PATHWAY MEETINGS
We have set aside Thursday 13th Oct, Fri 14th, Sat 15th,
Sun 16th, Mon 17th, Tues 18th and Wed 19th for meetings with
the Jersey Commonwealth Games Association
**IMPORTANT**
Since you are going to - Swim Time Trial at Haute Vallee swimming pool - 11 September 9am
perhaps you can decide what date from the list above is going to suit you all.
The main points we hope to cover are:
1. Review of log books
and of 2016 so far
2. CGAJ support
programmes
3. Look ahead to the
next 12 months
4. Discuss ideas
specific to the games, (travel dates, training, competition etc.)
5. Any Other Business
It would be ideal if all the Jersey Commonwealth Hopefuls
could come to ONE meeting so that we are all co-ordinated and share and
understand the same messages. I think it will be important that we are all
together – including Sports Officer, Vaughan Robinson and myself as Team
Manager.

TEAMWORK AND CO-ORDINATION
I think we
might set-up a (quarterly?) ‘coffee morning’ meeting with Commonwealth
Games Team hopefuls as an information/team building/co-ordination meeting. I am
also keen to maintain a Newsletter/Web-Bulletin (which we also promote on
Facebook) to help open communications. I would be interested in your views on
this.
MORE INFORMATION AND QUERIES
Please note I am publishing all bulletins on this website so
you can look back at past information…
