triathlon – Melissa Corkum https://www.thecorkboardonline.com Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:50:26 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.8 https://www.thecorkboardonline.com/corkboard/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cropped-cropped-C-logo-bright-blue-32x32.png triathlon – Melissa Corkum https://www.thecorkboardonline.com 32 32 Tri and Ty https://www.thecorkboardonline.com/2009/08/tri-and-ty/ Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:50:26 +0000 http://www.thecorkums.com/?p=782 Yes, I have a slight love affair with alliteration.

Moving on…triathlon training season officially came to end with my participation in the North East Triathlon.  I did the sprint distance (750m swim, 15.5 mi bike, and 3.1 mi run).  I was hoping to come in under 2 hours.  I came REALLY close  at 2:01:51.  Kudos to the CGI folks who organized the race…it was one of the best run I’ve been to.

In other news, I realized the other day that I have been remiss is keeping you all up-to-date with what Ty’s saying.  Actually, I really just want to be able to look back and get it in his scrapbook correctly.  The fact that you get an update is an added bonus.

It’s fascinating watching expressive language emerge in a toddler.  It’s happening so fast for Ty that we can actually see the progress even though we’re with him all the time.  His vocabulary is expanding faster than I can keep track.  He’s using phrases and addressing people by name.  (e.g., “Mommy, I want see.”)  He’s showing interest in learning colors, animals, and animal sounds.  Right now, he’s pretty consistent with cow and dog.  He also has this obessession with matching colors and cars to their owners.  (e.g., Nana’s car, Nana blue).

Well I’m out of athletic hibernation and my triathlon competition participation season has started. Granted there is only one more planned for August and that will mark the end of the season 🙂  It’s not too late to start training either.  Technically, my training season started today, too.  If you’re in my area and want to come along for the ride (pun intended), I think that would be an excellent idea.

Just for the record, today we (one of my training buddies and myself) participated in the Cascade Lake Triathlon (500 m swim, 15 mile bike, 5k run).  My time was 2:04:55 the worst on record for me so far.  It’s ok because it was just meant to motivate us to train for this triathlon. 

You know you want to!  I’ve even started a conversation thread to help you connect with others who want to on our new Corkboard Community on the right side.  It was built using a cool widget from the BlogFrog.
