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.
