Congratulations to Team Fitness Together's Susan Swanson for getting 3rd in her category in the White Lake Half 2009 Triathlon! The event was held in White Lake, NC this past Saturday. More information can be found on setupevents.com.

UPDATE:

Susan suffered from a three-week chest cold prior to this race. All of her hard work at Fitness Together in Norfolk obvioulsy paid off. She had this to say about her race:

It rained right before my swim start. Cloudy, water a bit choppy but not bad. The rain stopped within 5 minutes. Most of the bike was cloudy and windy, and there had been rain activity in spots but it was over by the time I got there, so I didn't have to deal with rain on the course, just some wet surfaces, but it was only for small stretches. The wind was pretty bad - first a tail wind for about 10 miles, then head winds and side gusts. I biked conservatively, averaging about 17.7 or so, and last year I think it was 18 or something."

Her results:

           2009    Rank
Swim       35.38    16
Bike     3:08:44    68
Run      2:08:10    56

Overall  5:56:18    43/158

Well done, Susan!
