How did you get into cycling? In 2014, a friend took me mountain biking once and I was hooked.
How long have you been racing on Zwift? 9 months.
Are you part of a Virtual team? Nope. Not that I know of.
What do you love most about racing? Having absolutely no idea how it’s all going to pan out.
What is your favourite style of race (e.g. points, scratch, iTT, TTT, Chase, duathlon)? I honestly don’t know what any of those are!
What is your favourite Zwift women’s race series? Honestly, I did some of the Zwift Games women’s races, but barely any other women showed up. So, I guess I have no real experience to answer this one.
What is your most memorable racing experience, inside or outside or BOTH? Winning Stage 5 of Zwift Games, finishing on The Grade with a max HR of 199bpm, giving it my ALL and somehow managing to fend off the guy chasing me all the way up.
What is your favourite food to eat post race? Milk.
What advice would you give to a woman entering her first Zwift race? Don’t even think about it. Just get on, give it a go, learn from it and have loads of fun. No one cares where you finish btw.
Any upcoming race you are looking forward to? IRL … TDFF avec Zwift.
