Tshwane Triathlon Selection Criteria

TSHWANE TRIATHLON SELECTION CRITERIA FOR TRIATHLON AND DUATHLON

To be selected to represent TTA at SA Championships, an athlete must meet the following criteria:

• Be registered and have a valid TSA license number for the season
• Complete 2 TTA league events. Participation can be in Triathlon or Duathlon, and for Age Groupers can be sprint or standard. Aqua bike participation will also count as a league.
• Participate in Provincial Champs. If an athlete is not able to participate in provincial championships, an additional league event can be used.
• Obtain a qualifying time. Age Groupers who have qualified for the Standard distance will automatically be qualified for the Sprint distance too. Where there are 2 separate SA Championship races (Triathlon) they will be considered to have qualified for both. If there is only 1 SA Championship race (Duathlon) they may choose to participate in sprint or Standard. NOTE: A Sprint qualifying time CAN NOT be used to qualify for Standard.
• Age Groupers who qualify for Standard Duathlon may choose to do the Long-Distance event at SA Championships if there is one.
• The athlete’s time will not be used if a TT bike is used in a Sprint event. We will allow participation, but the time will not be considered for qualification.
• Qualifying times may be adjusted to account for circumstances (strong wind/rain/heavy water flow).

If an athlete is not able to meet the above criteria, the application can be made to the selection committee (via email to info@tshwanetriathlon.co.za) for consideration. While every effort will be made to accommodate athletes, we need to maintain integrity, fairness, and transparency.
