Hi Deb. Best of luck with qualifying. You mentioned there are a total of 20 qualifying spots available for each age group, with three qualifying events, of which the top 4 places will qualify. If the top 4 placements of those three events qualify, how do they allocate those remaining 8 spots? Would this be awarded via the roll down process? Thanks!
Hi. Thanks. Those 8 places are reserved for pre-qualification, either for people who have ranked highly in the last European championships or people who have deferred a year at the discretion of the BTF. I don't think those 8 spaces get rolled down if they aren't allocated. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's just the 12 spots that are eligible for roll down.
Good Work. Qualification can be quite confusing, for anyone on the outside. Have you qualified previously?
No, I haven't. This is my first time trying. If you have any further tips I would love to hear them ☺️
Hi how do you find out qualifying times.
There aren't specific qualifying times, it's based on position
Best of luck. 🏊♂️🚴♀️🏃♀️👍😃
Thank you! 😃
Do you know how you compare with your competition? for example are you going to be near the top when trying to qualify?
I've looked at last year's time & 5th place is a possibility for me. I don't think I could get my time down to the 4th place qualifying by the first qualifier, but I'm hoping I could possibly get a roll down spot as less & less people are being BTF members & not everyone wants to pay to go & race abroad. The sea swim at SWYD is my biggest potential hurdle, I've only ever raced in rivers & lakes.
@@triathlondebsthat’s fantastic you are one of the fast ones in your agegroup,, which having looked at last year’s qualifying was stacked with 30 athletes trying to qualify. As you your near the pointy end, the other tactics don’t really count for much as you know you need to focus on getting to each start line in your best shape, racing as hard as where your at at that time of the season will allow. Good luck you’ll smash it.
