Qualification for European ETU and World ITU Championships 2017
We had record numbers of Windrushers who qualified and also attended European and World Championship races in 2016. Would you like to join in the fun next year? Would you like to race for the GB Age Group team?
What is Age Group? https://www.britishtriathlon.org/gb-teams/age-group/about-age-group... The Great Britain Age-Group competition offers all Home Nation members a unique opportunity to compete at International Level in triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon, aquabike winter and cross triathlon. If you make the team, you can be proud to represent Great Britain and enjoy the experience of racing at an International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Championship or European Triathlon Union (ETU) European Championship. Qualification is age graded so there is opportunity for all ages to compete if you meet the criteria. Anyone who registers with BTF can qualify for the GB team, however there are also qualification processes if you are from another country and wish to race for them too - check out your home nation site for more info.
Qualification Races have been set for 2017, and entries are filling up fast. There are set qualification races if you wish to qualify in Triathlon (Sprint and Standard) and Duathlon (Sprint and Standard). Below is a good link to see all the races for the qualifiers: https://www.britishtriathlon.org/britain/documents/events/champs-an...
For other races/distances such as Middle Distance or Aquathlon there are no set qualifier races but the entry criteria does vary. For further information on other races and how the qualification process works, check out the BTF Age Group site and select the individual race you are interested in for the qualification criteria. Also note, there is a new race this year - the AquaBike which looks pretty cool..could you be the first AquaBike champion!!?? Full list of races where qualification is open: https://www.britishtriathlon.org/gb-teams/age-group/age-group-quali...
Feel free to post below any questions or discuss any of the races you are thinking about/have already entered for. I already know a number of people planning to enter qualifications for the Worlds Sprint/Standard Triathlon so would be great to organise travel and plans together! We will be arranging a seminar/chat in January about how the process works and to ask any questions.
In the mean time I would also like to congratulate those who have already qualified 2017 races:
Tom T for European Sprint Distance Duathlon in Spain - April.
Deborah L, Charles B, Becky G, Nick F for European Standard Distance Triathlon in Austria -June
World Championships: From her amazing result in Mexico Deborah L takes a pre-qualification spot for the Sprint Distance.

If short of space, I could take some of your kit(s) up.
I'm driving up on the Friday.
I grew up round there so will be staying at my mums.
Not sure if i'm driving back Sunday or Monday yet though.
