Loveland, CO: Today, bluerub, a natural body care company for all athletes, announced a new partnership with world-class triathlete Angela Naeth, and the organization she founded, IRACELIKEAGIRL. This partnership supports and encourages women of all ages and abilities to enter and compete in triathlons.

“We are delighted and humbled to partner with Angela,” says Dave Veldhuizen, bluerub CEO. “She’s such an inspiring leader who uses her experience, determination, and success at the finish line to advocate for women and girls. And that’s something we, at bluerub, are fully behind.”

“Chafing and saddle sores will take out an athlete, so I look for products that let me keep training and performing my best,” says Naeth. “But I also want products with ingredients that are good for my skin. bluerub’s products are.”

In 2017, Naeth founded iracelikeagirl (IRLAG) a women’s endurance community across the United States. They are focused on providing an opportunity for women of all ages/abilities to support, encourage, and inspire one another in the sport of triathlon and all endurance sports. They are a team of women – new to seasoned veterans.

IRACELIKEAGIRL also fields an Under 18 youth team, an empowering community for girls 6-18 years of age involved in triathlon, cycling, swimming, and running.

“IRLAG is a phenomenal team of women all across the country, who strive every day to bring their best to the sport of triathlon,” says Veldhuizen. “They inspire each other and provide critical role models for young girls to get moving and engage in sports of all kinds, regardless of ability and experience. And frankly, they inspire us to bring the best products we can to this amazing community.”

With this partnership, IRLAG participants will get:

• bluerub products to use in training and racing;
• Invited to participate in new product development activities so they can help shape the products they need;
• Coaching and training on how to use anti-friction and recovery products for training and peak performance.
