Island Games 2015
I am writing to express my interest in participating in
the Island Games
I meet the criteria Men 2 hrs 15 minutes as follows
2013 ETU Qualifier (Anglian Water Standard Distance Tri)
1st Age-Group 2:05:56
2014 British Champs 3rd Age-Group 2:10:25
Additionally, although this is outside 2:15, it’s worth
looking at as a bench-mark given that it was a very tough course up a mountain!
2014 ETU Race 11th Age-Group 2:22:26 http://www.triathlon.org/results/result/2014_kitzbuehel_etu_triathlon_european_championships/264535
I wasn’t able to participate in the Jersey Triathlon this
year because I was at the European Champs, but hope that my performances listed
above are sufficient. The above has been achieved whilst injured. I aim to be
injury free in 2015 and go sub 2:02:00 and win British Champs or switch to
Ironman. Which path I choose depends upon Island Games selection.
I have represented Jersey at previous Island Games: Isle
of Man and Guernsey, as well as at Commonwealth Games – Melbourne. My sport CV
is as follows: http://www.timhjrogers.com/sport-profile/
If the above are not adequate please let me know, there
are a few more UK triathlons left in 2014 and I would be happy to enter these
and hopefully with favourable weather and less mountains should go sub 2:02:00
