Finding My Soul on the Transpyr Backroads - Angela Naeth

It also marks an incredibly important mile marker in my first full season back after hip surgery and breaking my femur, earlier this year. The long road to recovery was difficult at times, both mentally and physically. But I know I still have the ability to compete at the highest level - it's just a matter of patience. and allowing the running to fully come back over time. Transpyr is an excellent challenge to put my body and mind through the ringers as I continue building back.  

My time in Colorado opened a window into a window I never experienced since I was young. Training amid the towering Rockies, I was but a humble speck in the grand theater of timeless, jagged peaks. 

In those moments of Zen-like immersion, I had my H2O Audio Tri Pro Headphones ushering a vibrant soundtrack for my listless mind. The music wasn't a means to power through the pain, but rather a cherished companion joined together in appreciation of our awe-inspiring settings. When the only sounds are my breath and the crunch of tires on rocky terrain, melding with the music is like finding perfect harmony.

And that's ultimately what this whole Transpyr experience is about for me - achieving a new harmonic balance in the dynamic between both my physical and mental beings. 

At the end of the day, Transpyr isn't about finishing times or bragging rights. It's an incredible chance to turn inwards and healing up for a great 2024 season.
