Press Release: Sunday 27th January, 2013
Tre-X Back 2 Back ON TRACK for 2nd & 3rd February
With the current flooding that is happening in Brisbane we would like to send our thoughts to all those in areas that have been impacted by the floods. 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 Weather Forecast
The curernt weather forecast is expecting rain on the Sunshine Coast to ease tomorrow with a positive forecast moving forward to the weekend. Current forecast is Fine and mostly sunny for Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd February.
The Course
There are some sections of the MTB course (approx 300m) currently under water, however the good news is that because the course at Twin Waters is based on sand, from last years experience we know that the track hardens in wet weather and it drains very quickly. Who knew there would be some advantage in building a MTB course on sand? :-)
The Contingency Plan
Currently there are some sections under water and we have an alternate course route in the unlikely circumstance that these sections do not dry out by next Saturday. 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 300m) and there could be a small section (approx 300m) on tarmac, which will allow us to avoid the wet areas. All possible environmental impacts have been taken into consideration and plans made to manage these if they occur.
The Decision to Move Forward
So with a contingency plan in place, and because of the wishes expressed to us by most, we have made the decision to move forward with the event on the original dates, 2nd & 3rd February, 2013
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 few days 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!
We can't predict the weather but we can promise 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
If you would like to discuss anything in relation to this information, please don’t hesitate to contact us on the details below.
Best wishes

Back 2 Back Famil Morning on Sun 27th January CANCELLED
Due to the extreme weather conditions being forecast for SE Qld over the weekend Connie has made the decision to cancel the Back 2 Back course famil morning due to be held at Novotel Twin Waters Resort on Sunday 27th January, however Connie is still holding a Trail Run Session at 7am at Bardon. See details on the link below.
The decision has been made in the interest of safety and to ensure we look after the new trails on the property. The good news is the rain is currently forecast to ease on Tuesday and the sand base of the MTB course means the trails harden up with wet weather and drain within a day or two, so all is looking good for next weekend's event.
Thank you all for your understanding.

2013 Australian Cross-Triathlon
Championships
 
Snowy Mountains, NSW
9th & 10th March, 2013
|
The iconic Thredbo Valley in the Snowy Mountains is set to play host to the newly announced 2013 Australian Cross Triathlon Championships.
The Evolution of Cross Triathlon
Cross Triathlon has been simmering on the fringe of Australian sport for some time now, and with Triathlon Australia’s announcement of the 2013 Australian Cross Triathlon Championships, OFF-ROAD is rapidly becoming the ONLY ROAD for many triathletes.
The National Cross Triathlon Championships is part of the national Tre-X Off Road Triathlon Series and will be one of Australia’s most uniquely challenging off-road events. It takes triathlon and mixes it with a huge helping of grit, dirt and hardcore action as competitors tackle a combination of Swim, Mountain Bike and Trail Run.
Race Director, Simon Lazenby told us that, “Taking triathlon off road adds an all new element of excitement to the sport. Unlike road triathlons, a mountain bike course is very different every time you ride it. It requires a combination of skill, speed, strength and strategy to stay at the pointy end of the field. The weather, track conditions and terrain make the riding very different every time. The trail run incorporates diverse terrain including trails, tracks, creeks, steep craggy ascents and rocky scrambles which means that competitors must stay focussed every step of the way. It will take a true champion to take home the title as Australia’s Cross-Triathlon Champion”
Lake Crackenback Resort: An Adventure Playground
Lake Crackenback resort nestled in the Thredbo Valley will provide an iconic backdrop for Australia’s Cross Triathlon Championships. Beautiful Lake Crackenback will host the swim leg. The mountain bike leg will be staged on the diverse combination of mountain bike trails that surround the resort. And the trail run will include some of Australia’s most unique and spectacular scenery which will make it a real treat for international visitors.
With Race HQ based at Lake Crackenback Resort competitors and spectators can combine a weekend of hardcore off-road racing with all the luxury of this fabulous 4.5-star resort.
Australian Championships
The championships are sanctioned by Triathlon Australia and will be the qualifying round for the ITU World Cross Triathlon Championships held in The Hague, Netherlands in July 2013. Winners will take home the title as Australia’s National Champion. Sprint distance, Junior and Trail Run events will also be staged throughout the weekend.
It’s set to be an adrenalin packed weekend of ‘not to be missed’ off-road action as we search for Australia’s Cross-Triathlon Champion.
Entries & Information
 Tre-X Duathlon Champs: Who are the TRUE & TOUGHEST Off Road Champions?
The Tre-X Duathlon Champs is shaping up to be one of the toughest courses to date. The long course MTB includes 4 laps of the 7.5km track and this will be no walk in the park. No long fire trails or cruisy tracks on this course. To take out the championships riders are going to have to push themselves every inch of the way as they tackle technical single track, pinchy climbs, creek crossingsm, obstacles and some of the best mountain biking in the country.
New 4km Run Course
The new 4km Run course takes what was already a challenging 2k course and adds some new climbs and over 500m of true off road trail running. Competitors will have to dig deep to initially attack 2 laps of this course and then after 30k on the bike, get back out there and do it all again. Legs.. get ready to BURN!
So we look forward to seeing you at theTre-X Duathlon Champs as we uncover those who are the TRUE & TOUGHEST Off Road Champions
 Tre-X Duathlon Series Points
In the lead up to the Championship event on Sunday, it's going to be a close run race for the 2012 Tre-X Duathlon Series Championships in many categories, and especially in the Male Open Category where Shane Wharton and George Tamblyn sit on an equal 18 points.

28/6/12: Tre-X Duathlon Race 2 Course Update
 After the recent rain we have been out doing a course inspection today and the good news is that the MTB Tracks are holding up well after cutting additional drainage channels this week. With the weather looking to ease on Friday with sunny periods and full sunshine on Saturday the course should be in good condition for Sunday's event.
We will do a further course inspection on Saturday to confirm the condition of the trails. We have a wet weather contingency in place and depending how the weather is on Friday and Saturday we may make the decision to adjust the course to suit the trail conditions on the day and will advise accordingly.
We've had an awesome time fine tuning the new Run Course and it promises to be a real adventure. So, get ready for water, mud, creek crossings and a whole load of hardcore action on this TRUE Off Road Trail Run Course.
On another positive note, the weather forecast for Sunday is looking awesome with sunny skies & a top of 20 Degrees!
Entries are open until 6am on Friday morning, so still a chance to get your last minute entries in. Providing the event is not full 'On the Day Entries' will be open from 8am to 8:30am on Sunday
