QT2 Systems - My Life as a Pro - Episode 7 - Angela Naeth

Have you ever wondered about the life of a professional
triathlete? In this podcast series, we interview current and
retired QT2 Systems Professional Triathletes, exploring the path
to earning (and maintaining) a pro license, the nuts and bolts of
training and racing, and the ups and downs along the way. The
guests also share how being a pro triathlete shaped their lives,
and what advice they would give to their younger selves.


Episode 7 features Angela Naeth. Angela raced her first triathlon
in 2005 - an indoor pool swim, a 30K bike and a 8K trail run. She
won. Angela raced her second triathlon in 2006 - a half distance.
She won and earned her pro card. With $2000 in her pocket, a bike
and a bag, and a dream to race as a professional triathlete,
Angela left her home in Canada and came to the US. In the early
part of her career, she raced frequently - living meagerly, she
banked her earnings. In 2009, she won her first IRONMAN 70.3 -
Boulder. That was the turning point. Over the years, she
developed strong partnerships in the sport, continued to race
frequently, and started making a legitimate living as a pro.
After focusing on 70.3 for several years, she entered her first
IRONMAN full distance in 2013. Despite all of her successes,
Angela had never focused on her race fueling, and it ultimately
caught up to her. After a disastrous race in Australia, Angela
reached out to QT2 Systems founder Jesse Kropelnicki. With
Jesse's coaching and nutrition guidance, Angela won her first
IRONMAN in 2015 - IRONMAN Chattanooga. Angela continues to race
professionally, coached by QT2 Systems Tim Snow.


When faced with adversity, Angela gets up every time. Each
challenge makes her stronger. Her tenacity shines through in her
racing and her desire to help others. Angela gives back to the
sport that gave her so much. She has created a community of
female athletes with her I Race Like a Girl and Girls Get Gritty
Teams.
