COMMONWEALTH GAMES GOLD COAST 2018 – SPRINT SELECTION

COMMONWEALTH GAMES GOLD COAST 2018 – SPRINT SELECTION

There are a lot of emails going around about meetings, standards, athletes etc., I know a good number of them are from me! So to help consolidate all the information and hopefully formalise properly for the purposes of good governance and both JTC Committee and Commonwealth Games Association I have drafted this note.

THE EVENT

The Gold Coast 2018 Triathlon has been changed to a Sprint / Team-Relay event, and not “Olympic distance” . People wishing to participate in the Team-Relay event must have taken part in the Sprint event.

This has caused us to re-think who might go, and the standards and KPIs for selection and targeting performance. It may also affect our training plans, training camps, and preparatory races/trials in the period up to Gold Coast 2018.

REGISTERED ATHELETS

I have emailed both the Commonwealth and Island Games athletes to confirm/check who is interested in the Gold Coast 2018 Triathlon Sprint / Team-Relay events. The following have ‘registered’ their interest either via me or Fintan ..

demri@me.com;

tomperchard86@gmail.com;

xxtremeollie@msn.com;

michael charlton minkycharlton@me.com

jenny.obrien@me.com;

jobrien@englandathletics.org;

j.gorrod@salamanca-group.com

POSSIBLE CRITERIA

This is up for debate, but we need to agree soon to give athletes a fair understanding of what is expected. I looked up the UK national sprint champs as a guide

http://www.tri247.com/results_12924.html

It seems reasonable as a standard that Commonwealth Games Gold Coast 2018 athletes are within 10% of being the national champion for their country?

NEXT STEPS

I propose that there is a meeting of JTC Committee to review and approve the standards, athletes etc., which are then written up and presented to the Commonwealth Games Association before the end-November.

JERSEY TRIATHLON COMMONWEALTH BULLETIN NO 007– UPDATE OCTOBER 2016

JERSEY COMMONWEALTH TRIATHLON UPDATE 31 OCTOBER 2016

I had a meeting with PdF today and have some useful update information for you

GOLD COAST 2018 RACE, STANDARDS AND ATHLETES

The race will be a sprint and there will be a relay which will be open to 2 men + 1 women provided they participate in the sprint. This to be confirmed.

Now that know that it is a sprint event we need to check/update our criteria, performance indicators, and also review which athletes are interested in Commonwealth Games Gold Coast 2018

We might add or remove some athletes and we need to make sure we notify the Commonwealth Games Association as soon as possible and then get these people onto the performance programme and reporting to the Commonwealth Games Association.

I will arrange a meeting with the JTC Committee to progress this.

REPORTING SUCCESS AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

With the team capped at 33 it looks like not everyone from Jersey who achieves the standards will be able to go. Commonwealth Games Association will look at performance indicators when making selection. You must continue to supply a quarterly log book update.

Additionally the Commonwealth Games Association has *suggested* that each athlete creates a report listing race results/outcomes. They want to use this to evaluate race performance as well as training effort (from quarterly log book update)

· Local races, results and times,

· UK / National races, results and times,

· Other key results eg swim, bike or run times

I will arrange a meeting with the JTC Committee to progress this.

CYCLING TESTING OPPORTUNITY

PdF today mentioned that Andy H has some lactate testing kit and also a cycling guru coming to Jersey 25-28 November to give advice on bike position etc. He also said that Cycling made access for Triathletes for this. Please contact 'Andy Hamon' <lelayengineers@hotmail.co.uk>; 'Andrew Hamon' <ahengineers@hotmail.com>;

SWIMMING TESTING OPPORTUNITY

PdF today mentioned that Nathan has a swim guru coming to Jersey 3^rd December who may give advice on swim stroke etc. Please contact 'nathanjegoutigers@outlook.com'

SPORT MEETING AND ONE-TO-ONE WITH COMMONWEALTH GAMES ASSOCIATION

PdF and Commonwealth Games Association would like to meet ALL potential athletes for Commonwealth Games Gold Coast 2018 soon. He has suggested 5:30pm Weds 9 November to fit with the Jersey Triathlon Track Session

This is very soon and I need to see if I can confirm a date and access to the rooms there.

I will arrange a meeting with the JTC Committee to progress this, together with a discussion about who else we need to invite now that this is a sprint event and we may have more / new athletes for Gold Coast 2018

LINK-UP WITH ISLAND GAMES ATHELETES

Many of the issues for the Commonwealth Athletes and the need for support, coaching, grant-funding etc are the same and it makes sense if we can all meet together. The Commonwealth Games Association has funding for….

Sports – eg to help all triathlon

Teams – eg to help Commonwealth Games Gold Coast Team

Individuals – eg to help special needs

It makes sense to co-ordinate our efforts and funding.

Maybe 5:30pm Weds 9 November to fit with the Jersey Triathlon Track Session

Kind regards, Tim

JERSEY TRIATHLON COMMONWEALTH BULLETIN NO 006– UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2016

POSTPONED PERFORMANCE PATHWAY MEETINGS

See below email from Paul du Feu – because there is remaining uncertainty about the details of the Commonwealth Games Gold Coast Triathlon the Commonwealth Games Association think it best to postpone discussion about standards, training and progress until November.

Hi Tim

let's be patient!!! though I'm fairly stretched by the CGF on this one... think first week November may be a good target

ref funding I think bringing over coaches or having intensive weekends (facilities paid for by us) with local guest coaches would be ideal as it also benefits the youngsters, new generation.

e.g a swim bike long weekend with 3 or swim sessions and bike sessions with coaches (use the cycle testing equipment we bought?) ..use local people or import

going away on camps is only for the selected few....

Paul

GRANT / ATHLETE FUNDING

There may be some modest funding available from Commonwealth Games Association for Commonwealth/ Athlete preparation. I suggest it is worth meeting soon (possibly before Performance Pathway Meetings) to agree what support/funding the Commonwealth Athletes might benefit from.

Things to consider

· Contribution to costs of coaching

· Contribution to costs of equipment

· Contribution to costs of training camp

· Contribution to costs of physio / strength and conditioning

MORE INFORMATION AND QUERIES

Please note I am publishing all bulletins on this website so you can look back at past information…
