By his own count, Corbitt ran 199 marathons and ultramarathons, which are typically races of 50 or 100 miles or 24 hours. (Marathons are 26 miles 385 yards.) He won 30 of those races and never dropped out of one until he was 75, he said. He trained by running as many as 200 miles a week. In his heyday, Corbitt — shy and slight at 5 feet 7 inches and 130 pounds — was a United States marathon champion and a member of the United States team at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, where he finished a disappointing 44th in the marathon.
At various times, Corbitt held American records in the marathon, the 100-mile run and the 25-, 40- and 50-kilometer events. He also won national American Athletic Union championships in several distance running events. His fastest time in a marathon was 2 hours 26 minutes 44 seconds.

Club Championships
The TriNSW Club Champs continue in 2008 at One Mile Beach in picturesque Port Stephens. After consultation with the affiliated clubs, the Board has resolved “That one day licences be accepted at 2008 TriNSW Club Championships on 3rd May, however points will not count for that individual towards their Club.” What this means is that Club Members who are not full TA/ TriNSW Members may compete, however it will be solely for fun because their points won’t count towards the Club tally. So Clubs – if you want more points, encourage your members to become TriNSW Members now and reap the advantages for the full season.Macca nominated as NSW Athlete of the Year

Coming into Round 5 of the Snap Australian Half Ironman Series the women’s series lead was being fiercely contested by Lisa Marangon and Elly Franks.
Both women desperately needed to win to gain an advantage before the series heads to Canberra in December for Round 6, and it was Sydney’s Marangon who ended up taking line honours.
“I am so excited winning today as I have had a huge week of training before I start tapering for Ironman Western Australia,” said Marangon who won the Busselton Half Ironman in May.
“The ride was tough today with the winds and the storm coming in but I felt great. I rode the whole way by myself and rode really well which I needed after having a slower than normal swim.”
Having gained a large lead on the cycle, Marangon traded her bike for running shoes and continued to increase her lead.
‘’My run is something I have been working on really hard for Busselton and today it seemed to click.''
