In February of this year, as she was training for Ironman Texas, pro triathlete Angela Naeth suffered what could have been a career-ending injury: a femoral neck stress fracture.  In March, she had to have surgery in order for it to heal properly. Just last week, she raced Challenge Cap Quebec, a half-distance triathlon, which proved to be a successful rehearsal for bigger goals ahead.  But how did she get from needing to use a mop to stand up to crossing the finish line of a 70.3 almost 6 months later? In this episode, Angela tells her story. Her success lies not only in her positive mindset, but also in her willingness to let go. And at the end, she talks about her biggest takeaways from dealing with such a severe and scary injury.
