Are you ready to compete?<\/p>\n
Germiston athletes can get ready for the Central Gauteng Triathlon Championships, because entries are now open.<\/p>
The championships will take place on February 9, at the Germiston Aquatics Club (GAC), at Germiston Lake.<\/p>\n
This is the selection event for the Central Gauteng Triathlon team, but is also open to all non-registered athletes.<\/p>
Due to the fact that the Duathlon World Championships are being held so early this year, CGT will not have the opportunity to stage a selection event to select the CGT team before the South African Duathlon Championships, on March 8.<\/p>\n
This event caters for those who are passionate and for those who just want to have a bit of fun, and it includes those who are new to the sport.<\/p>\n
There will also be a CGT Young Triathlon for u-12.<\/p>\n
This is a Central Gauteng Triathlon Provincial Championship event and, as such, medals will be presented only to CGT\/TSA registered athletes, for the first, second and third places in each age group.<\/p>\n
These medals will be presented at the provincial CGT team kit and medal awards evening, to be confirmed after the event.<\/p>\n
The Central Gauteng provincial triathlon team chosen will represent the province at the 2014 South African National Triathlon Championships, that will take place in East London, on March 23.<\/p>\n
On-line entries close on February 6.<\/p>\n
No manual or late entries will be accepted after February 6 and there will be no exceptions, so enter before the closing date.<\/p>\n
Before entering, make sure you have registered with Central Gauteng Triathlon to qualify for selection to the CGT team.<\/p>\n
Juniors, 11 years and younger, as at December 31, 2014, can register with CGT for free on the TSA website, but won’t qualify for provincial selection.<\/p>\n
It is imperative for people to note that, when a race is full, entries for the particular event will be closed<\/p>\n
