Dana Tennie, owner of Hardcore Fitness in Clintonville, placed in the top three in two races at the 2015 SoCal Spartan Races in Temecula, California, last month.
Tennis placed second in her age group of elite racers Jan. 24 in the Super Spartan Obstacle Mud Run and Endurance Race and third Jan. 25 in the Spartan Sprint.
Of the Spartan Super race’s 3,866 racers, 56 competed as elite women. There were 4,490 racers in the Spartan Sprint, including 31 elite women competitors.
Tennie has been competing in obstacle races since August 2012 and this was her first time to reach the podium.
An elite racer cannot receive assistance at any time during the competition and must complete all obstacles. The Spartan Super Course was 10.5 miles, including 5.5 miles uphill, and 35 obstacles. The Spartan Sprint Course was 5.4 miles, with 2.8 miles uphill, and 25 obstacles.
Tennie is on track to complete a double trifecta in 2015 with her next race coming up in the Bahamas on March 7.
Hardcore Fitness team members Melissa Laack and Grant Strook also competed and finished both races.
Tennie opened Hardcore Fitness at 143 S. Main St., Clintonville, four years ago. The 24-hour facility offers personal training as well as a variety of classes for all levels and age groups.
