I look back at them, and I'm honestly quite grateful I've been through it all, because it's changed who I am and it's made me who I am. You learn a lot when you're down and out.\u201d   Angela Naeth has been racing as a pro triathlete since 2008, and added gravel racing in 2022. In that time, she\u2019s had plenty of success, reaching the podium more than 40 times in 70.3 and Ironman events and placing in the top 8 at Ironman World Championships.    But she\u2019s also gone through her fair share of setbacks, from Lyme disease to stress fractures to, most recently, a posterior tibial tendon tear. Through her years of experience\u2014and, she says, having gone to therapy after the end of a relationship\u2014she\u2019s learned how to work through her emotions and accept where she is, then stay curious about what\u2019s next.   All that has led her to a place where she\u2019s thriving in her coaching, continuing to perform at a high level as a master\u2019s athlete, but also knowing that no matter what happens, she can keep challenging herself and finding new ways to grow and feel gratitude.     Resources\/links: Angela\u2019s Instagram Angela Naeth Coaching The Middle Miles, the podcast Angela hosts with Amy Woods (including an in-depth episode about her hip injury)   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!
