Name: Katheryn Curi
Hometown: Born in Torrington, CT, and currently live in Los Altos, CA.
How did you get into cycling? I was a rower in college before switching to mountain and road racing in grad school. In 2001, I moved from Vermont to California to pursue being a professional road cyclist. I raced until 2010, primarily for Webcor Builders and the US National team.
How many years have you been racing on Zwift? Since 2018
Are you part of a Virtual team? NeXT pb Enshored and Riot
What do you love most about racing? By far the community! It is so fun racing against other strong women from all over the world from the ‘comfort’ of my living room.
What is your favourite style of race (e.g. points, scratch, iTT, TTT, Chase, duathlon)? I love TTTs, a true reflection of teamwork!
What is your favourite Zwift women’s race series? I have done the Tour de Boudicca a couple of times and love the longer format stage races.
What is your most memorable racing experience, inside or outside or BOTH? Winning the Geelong World Cup in 2008
What is your favourite food to eat post race? Cheese and veggie quesadillas! It’s all about the accutramonts… sour cream, salsa, avocado, TJs crispy jalapenos, and chips.
What advice would you give to a woman entering her first Zwift race? Find a team to join that will help you learn and grow while pushing you beyond what you think you can do.
Any upcoming race you are looking forward to? Right now, I am just having so much fun doing the WTRL TTTs on Thursdays with Riot.
Where can people follow your racing adventures? Probably following me on Strava is the best way to follow along with all of my cycling adventures… both on Zwift and IRL – https://www.strava.com/athletes/693488
