SBTC TRIATHLETE OF THE YEAR!
The SBTC committee has endorsed a revamp of our Triathlete of the Year competition (TOTY). In keeping with the Green Army spirit, we have made some adjustments so the award for the 15/16 season, whilst still being predominantly results based, also takes into account participation in and contribution to club activities. Most of the events for which points can be gained fit in with the TQ State Series, but we have added to that events that we know are important to our membership. Pay special attention to those non-state series events in the schedule, as you will need to submit your results for those directly. For the State Series events there is no need to submit your results as long as you register representing SBTC. For any questions on this contact Michelle Cordon merch@sbtc.com.au. For separate info about the State Series check out http://www.triathlonqld.com.au/Events/StateSeries/StateSeriesInformation.aspx.
Awards:
- Male and Female
- Trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
- No separation between long and short course
Based on these key criteria:
- Achievement and Points of the races listed below (best 5 results per individual).
- SBTC Involvement (regular attendance at SBTC sessions, volunteer contribution to the club, wearing of Club Kit at Training and Racing)
