CNN triathletes cross finish line
 CNN Fit Nation team (white caps) takes off from the swim start barge in the Nautica New York City Triathlon Dr. Sanjay Gupta, six CNN viewers from across the nation, and seven other CNN employees finished the Nautica New York City Triathlon on Sunday in front of thousands of race spectators in Central Park. The culmination of CNN’s Fit Nation Challenge, the race started with a one-mile swim in the Hudson River, a 25-mile bike ride along the West Side Highway, and a six-mile run in the park. Anthony Fox, a CNN producer, was the first of the team to cross the finish line, followed closely by Gupta. Angie Brouhard, a recent breast cancer survivor, was the first of the self-proclaimed “six pack” of CNN viewers to cross the finish line. Today also marks Brouhard’s 18th wedding anniversary with her husband, Brad. Brouhard was followed shortly by Dean Hanan, a New York City police officer; Linda Fisher-Lewis, a retired Oregon police officer; Meredith Clark, a Tallahassee, Florida, newspaper reporter; Stanley Saballett, a youth services coordinator from San Diego, California; and Rickey Williams, a teacher from Los Angeles. All first-time triathletes, the “six pack” and Gupta, say they will be signing up for future triathlons. CNN Executive Producer Roni Selig, along with producers John Bonifield, Caitlin Hagan, Danielle Dellorto, Jeff Kepnes and Charlie Moore also completed the race with the CNN team. Champion distance swimmer Diana Nyad was also on hand to support the team, cheering them on as they jumped into the Hudson River, and again as they crossed the finish line.

Congratulations, CNN Fit Nation Team! Way to go! Following your stories has been an inspiration. I'm doing my first sprint triathlon this fall.
Way to go Angie!! All of us at Lawnview are proud of your courage, hard work, & your determination. Thanks for being you.
Hi Miss Edith!!! I agree with your comment 100%! Angie YOU ARE AWESOME! Have a great summer. 🙂
I guess this means i wont need to make a mobile ad unit amoryne? Normal ad units will sufice? Also on my ipad all the ad units seem to have a big arrow next to the ad. Personaly I would like to see that arrow on all my ads, wether it is viewed on a mobile device or regular pc. And when I create a mobile ad unit the arrows do not seem to be there, only on regular ad units watched with a mobile device. Is this an error or on purpouse?
Way to go, team CNN! Welcome to a great sport.
