Monday 4th April: Amanda Richards & Sammy Stow take out the Salomon Tre-X Championships!
 In what was a mammoth challenge which included a 1000m Swim - 28km MTB - 10km Trail Run, the results came right down to the wire. And at the end of the day it was fantastic to see two of the true champions of the sport step up to the top podium position at the final race of the series.
In the Male Open Category the competition was strong with the lead changing several times throughout the event. Aftera digging deep on a very challenging 10km trail run it was Sammy Stow taking out 1st place in a time of 2:38:43, Dave Brown in 2nd in a time of 2:39:15 and Greg Ball in 3rd in a time of 2:40:42. And the competition was just as hot in the female competition with Amanda Richards delivering the performance of the season and taking out the title in a time of 3:07:00 with Ali Wright finishing in 2nd in a time of 3:14:53 and another strong performance from Jacqui Kelly in a time of 3:27:48.

Congratulations to Joanne King-Hudson & Russell Kennedy our Victorian Open Champions.
After the rain and floods in Victoria it was amazing to see Daylesford turn on a weekend of sunshine, perfect weather and hardcore adventure. This season the competition was even tougher than last year in the Victorian round of the series and it was a hard fought battle in the open category, but on the finish line it was Joanne King-Hudson from Torquay taking out the female open category in a time of 1:40:56 with Peri Gray 2nd in a time of 1:44:24 and Amanda Richards from Queensland putting in another fantastic performance to take 3rd place in a time of 1:48:13. In the male open category it was Russell Kennedy taking out 1st place in a blistering time of 1:33:05 with Rohan Creed just over 30 seconds behind in 1:33:59, and Geoff Suess from Qld back from injury and racing strongly taking out 3rd place in 1:39:36.
Congratulations to everyone who took part, the comerardery and sportsmanship that was demonstrated on several occasions throughout the event was fantastic to see.
 IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS: Thurs 10th March, 2011
Salomon Tre-X Champs & Qld Dirt Fest Venue Change
Throughout 2011 we have been liaising with the property owners and monitoring the weather and course conditions at Slickers. Due to the recent extreme weather, last Friday, the property owners have requested that the event not be held at the venue to avoid any possible damage to the site.
 2011 has certainly been an interesting year for events, with us having to reschedule two events and move locations for another, which is challenging for all parties concerned. However, we tend to thrive on a challenge and despite the obstacles faced, we have focussed on the positive and moved forward with the aim to avoid disappointment and to ensure we deliver the very best event possible.
The good news is that we now have an all new event site on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, just one hour north of Brisbane. Camp Wildeco is based on the banks of spectacular Ewen Maddock Dam and is surrounded by beautiful natural bushland.
In 2 Adventure have staged a number of adventure events from this location and had planned a future Tre-X and Dirt Fest weekend in 2012 at this venue, mainly because of the on site facilities and the great mountain biking and trail running in the area.
So now, the move has just had to happen a little earlier than expected J. The location was chosen to minimise the impact on entrants as it is only 30 minutes additional driving from the south, is closer to those on the Sunshine Coast, and offers superior facilities for a weekend event.
More Facilities: Including Hot Showers!
Wildeco Holiday Camp offers many additional facilities which will make participants stay much more comfortable and enjoyable.
Facilities include:
- Hot Showers
- Accommodation on Site – Bunk Beds – Dormitory style rooms
- Camping on Site
- Drinking water on site
- Toilets
- A Large Dining Hall for meals & the Saturday Night Celebration Dinner
- Large open grassy areas
- Beach & Swimming in the Dam
- Undercover HQ area
- Mountain Biking and Trail Running on the doorstep
The Course
This course has everything for a championship event including a stunning swim location, fantastic mountain biking including fast, flowing single tracks and some great off road trail running through beautiful rain forests.
Catering & Saturday Night Celebration Dinner
With full kitchen facilities on site the team from Mt Cotton Scouts will be cooking up a storm throughout the weekend, including a ‘not to be missed’ pasta & salad buffet on Saturday Evening.
With the new location and dining hall, the Saturday evening dinner will be a great opportunity to relax, have a great meal, catch up with other competitors and share war stories from the days action, and stay up to date with the all important Dirt Master & Dirt Mistress Standings.
There’ll be music, and Coach Jeff, our resident MC will be on hand to round off the days action and keep us entertained throughout the evening.
Bookings are Essential. Book on line now ($20 adults, $10 children under 10 yrs) and pay on the night.
Camping & Accommodation Bookings
Wildeco Camp offers camping and accommodation with full facilities including hot showers.
Camping & Accommodation Options Include:
- Camping with Vehicles (including car, small caravan or camping trailer) – 20 spaces only - $10 per person per night
- Camping without Vehicles - $10 per person per night
- Accommodation: Bunk Beds in dormitory style rooms - $20 per person per night
Bookings are essential and spaces will be allocated on a ‘first in best dressed’ basis.

Sunday 30th January, 2011: Qld Back 2 Back Results,
Video Out Now!
Congratulations to Corey Brough & Britt Caling
our Back 2 Back Open Champions.
As we turned on the sun for 2 days of hardcore off road racing at spectacular Novotel Twin Waters resort, it seems the all new Back 2 Back format and all new off road terrain brought out the very best in the Open Category. We saw Corey Brough take out a hard fought, close run race with Sammy Stow and George Tamblyn in the open male event and the competition was just as tough in the female category with Britt Calinng notching up her first open win of the season, with Amanda Richards having one of her best races of the season with Jacqui Kelly back on the podium.
Press Release: Monday 17th January, 2011
Tre-X Twin Waters ON TRACK for 29th/30th January
After the devastating events of the past week, we would like to send our thoughts to all those in areas that have been impacted by the floods. Thankfully we were spared, but being based in Brisbane have seen first hand just what an impact this has had on our community, but also been inspired by the tremendous spirit of people in such a crisis.
During this time we have had a number of enquiries regarding upcoming events and many of those enquiries have expressed a hope that the events would go ahead, as it would be something positive to look forward to.
The Course
We thought that the course at Twin Waters would be affected due to the amount of rain that has fallen. We inspected the course on Friday and there was a significant amount of water around some of the bike tracks. But, based on some local knowledge shared with us, we made the decision to wait over the weekend and re-visit the course today (Monday) to gauge its condition.
The Contingency Plan
Today the course has dried considerably, although there are some wet patches, which has meant we have had to develop a contingency plan in case there is more wet weather over the next two weeks, however based on the information we have, we fully expect these areas to dry out. The contingency plan means that we may lose some of the track that was developed for the event (approx 400m) and there could be a small section (approx 300m) on tarmac, which will allow us to avoid the wet areas.
The Decision to Move Forward
So with a contingency plan in place, and because of the wishes expressed to us by many, we have made the decision to move forward with the event on the original dates, 29th & 30th January, 2011.
Support of Novotel Twin Waters Resort
The resort has supported this decision fully and any possible environmental impacts have been taken into consideration and plans made to manage these if they occur.
A Difficult Decision
This has been a difficult decision and numbers may be down due to recent events, despite a number of entries this week
The bike course may not be everything that we originally intended, however it will still include some great riding, some surprises, and a challenging course. The swim course is in a brilliant location and the run, which takes in the Sunshine Coasts stunning beaches, is spectacular. Plus there’s the added bonus of a 4 star resort as the backdrop, a fantastic celebration dinner on Saturday evening and some awesome competition.
As always the future and the weather are unpredictable. We have made this announcement based on the best information we have available to us at this time; however, we will be monitoring the weather conditions, the course and other aspects over the next two weeks and will keep you updated if anything changes.
ALL SYSTEMS GO!
But for now, thanks to your support and feedback, it’s ALL SYSTEMS GO!
Of course we can’t guarantee the weather but we can promise you a fantastic weekend with great company, a spectacular race location and an awesome chance to race, relax and enjoy yourself in the company of some fantastic people! And after all… we know that Tre-X competitors are HARDCORE when it comes to triathlon J

Tre-X Twin Waters Course Familiarisation Day Cancelled
Due to the recent weather conditions in South East Qld, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the course familiarisaion day scheduled for Saturday 22nd of January, 2011.
The reason we have made this decision is that we want to give the course the best possible opportunity to dry and to be ready for the event the following week and to avoid causing any unnecessary damage. We understand that this is disappointing, however, we are taking every opportunity to ensure the course is in the best possible condition for event day. A full refund will be provided to entrants.

 Sunday 28th November: Qld Enduro Results,
Video, Slideshow & Photos Out Now!
Congratulations to Dave Whitney & Nina Wright
our Enduro Open Champions.
In what was an unrecognisable course after 3 years of rain & mud the Salomon Tre-X Enduro made a come back this year with only light drizzles and a track that proved sticky and super fast for the mountain bike leg making the competition hotter than ever.
The Enduro is one of the toughest events in the Salomon Tre-X Series with long course competitors completing a gruelling 350m Swim - 10km XC Mountain Bike - and 4km Trail Run and then plunging back in the water to do it all again. The course presented a few new surprises this year, cementing it as a true 'Off Road' event with the inclusion of an all new creek and mud run mid way  through the 4km course.
Those with the right 'off road' foot wear relished in the run through the water which gained considerable time on the run leg with others losing time choosing to scramble around the creek banks. Whichever way competiors did it, it was an awesome site to watch and made for the highlight of the fantastic video produced by the team at Photo Events.
At the end of the Day Nina Wright once again stamped her dominance on this series taking out a hard fought long course event in a time of 1:56:00, closely followed by Britt Caling 1:58:05 , back at her first race at Salomon Tre-X this season and closely followed in 3rd by Anna Beck 2:00:35 , a newcomer this season from a strong mountain bike background.
 In the men's event Dave Whitney, another cross over athlete from an illustrious mountain bike background, took out his second win of the season in a time or 1:46:39, closely followed again by Sammy Stow 1:47:16 who has stepped up in a big way this season and is gradually making his way towards a top podium position. Only 35 seconds behind Sammy, Corey Brough put in another strong performance to take out 3rd place in a time o f 1:47:53
In the short course event Rodney Tanner took out line honours in the Men's event in a time of 58:32 and Sally Smalley put in another fantastic performance to take out the Women's event in a time of 1:08:54. And some of the very best competition in the Salomon Tre-X Series is coming from our young guns in the 13-14yr category and the Teaser event. Congratulations on another outstanding performance from Shaun Snell taking line honours in the Teaser in a time of 22:35 and Rhiannon Arkell in a time of 17:04

The 2010/11 Series of the Salomon Tre-X Off Road Triathlon Series continues to break records with a sell out crowd and weather conditions that created a back drop for the perfect race day.
With the strongest Open field to date there was some strong competition with last years series champ Shane Wharton, Sydney Dirt Master Hall of Famer Corey Brough and, Surf Iron Man Guy Andrews all lining up at the pointy end of the field, but at the end of the day it was last years Tre-X Champs winner Dave Whitney who took the event in an outstanding time of 1:20:27 followed closely by Sam Stow in 1:21:37 stepping up from Age Group to Open, and Corey Brough in Third in 1:22:30.
In the female field Nina Wright in a time of 1:31:17 once again stamped her dominance in the off road world taking out the female title amongst a field which included some strong competition . It was great to see Anna Beck mountain bike specialist lining up for her first triathlon and taking out 2nd place in 1:32:30 , with Jacqui Kelly, last year's champs winner in form in 3rd in a time of 1:36:57.
There were also some awe inspiring performances in the remaining field, including a strong portion of the field lining up for their first triathlon. Not only were they attempting their first triathlon, they'd decided to go 'Hardcore' and do it off road. |
Congratulations to everyone who finished what was a punishing course, and it was great to see people relishing the new water crossing and mud run on the trail run course. Thanks for the smiles in what was an awesome day!
