Name: Alexandra Kay
Hometown: Novato, CA
How did you get into cycling? I come from the running world – mid-distance and long-distance. I sustained an overuse injury early last year, and physical therapy encouraged me to seek out other means of exercise while I recovered. I joined Zwift in October ‘24 and was instantly hooked!
How many years have you been racing on Zwift? 6 months
Are you part of a Virtual team? Yes, Coalition
What do you love most about racing? Being surrounded by highly talented, strong women is really inspiring.
What is your favourite style of race (e.g. points, scratch, iTT, TTT, Chase, duathlon)? Duathlon
What is your favourite Zwift women’s race series? Warrior Games
What is your most memorable racing experience, inside or outside or BOTH? It was a co-ed Zwift race where I took the lead on a hill climb and held it, meters ahead of the peloton. I finished 15 seconds ahead of 2nd place.
What is your favourite food to eat post race? Avocado toast
What advice would you give to a woman entering her first Zwift race? You can do hard things.
Any upcoming race you are looking forward to? Iceni
Where can people follow your racing adventures? @runnowrestlater on Instagram.
Alexandra!!! I missed this while I was vacationing, but what a story – selfishly I’m glad you had to switch from running for a little while, it’s great having your energy and enthusiasm in the cycling sphere.
Alexandra’s story is really inspiring! Leading that co-ed hill climb shows her strength and determination. Love her motto: “You can do hard things.”
