How did you get into cycling? My husband is a cyclist, when we started dating he took me on a ride and then I got hooked (on both).
How many years have you been racing on Zwift? Been zwifting since 2017 and started racing regularly in 2020.
Are you part of a Virtual team? Yes, eSRT.
What do you love most about racing? I love racing with other women on Zwift. I think it is because of all the Women-specific races lately that I have started racing more than before.
What is your favourite style of race (e.g. points, scratch, iTT, TTT, Chase, duathlon)? Points races or longer races.
What is your favourite Zwift women’s race series? Tour de Boudicca and Iceni Series.
What is your most memorable racing experience, inside or outside or BOTH? Hmmm, maybe my first road race outside. iTT in Swedish Nationals. Such an experience.
What is your favourite food to eat post race? Dinner!
What advice would you give to a woman entering her first Zwift race? Everyone racing has also been a beginner on Zwift. Try to join a team, for me it made a huge difference. I learned so much and just being a part of the community is so much fun.
Any upcoming race you are looking forward to? Not a specific race at the moment but I try to race a few times every week instead of doing workouts. TTT with team members on Thursdays is always fun.
