Dear Regions,

As per the discussion at the Board Meeting on Wednesday evening, please find attached the Age Group qualifying times as compiled by Yolanda.

Attached summary of qualifying times for age Groupers selection for World Champs participation.

The times are calculated based on the average of the 20th time (or second last time where there were less than 20 participants) per age group over the past 3 years, plus 5 minutes.

The times will serve as a guideline. In exceptional circumstances, the discretion of the selection committee will be applied.

Athletes are advised that a technical issue at SA Championships (the selection race) which may jeopardise that athlete's selection, must be reported to the race referee or technical delegate on the day of the race, who will report it to the selection committee.

We will also distribute a spreadsheet for Long Distance and Aquabike as soon as possible.
