Woman Racer Spotlight: Katy Hill

Name: Katy Hill

Hometown: London

How did you get into cycling? As part of summer training for cross-country skiing.

How many years have you been racing on Zwift? One year, I can’t believe I didn’t discover it sooner!

Are you part of a Virtual team? Yes, a proud Aeonian member.

What do you love most about racing? The adrenaline rush, the survival instinct that kicks in when a wheel starts to disappear up the road… and the team chat after races.

What is your favourite style of race (e.g. points, scratch, iTT, TTT, Chase, duathlon)?   TTT because it’s a true team effort.

What is your favourite Zwift women’s race series? I haven’t done many, probably the Grand Prix series just because it’s so inspiring seeing such a strong field!

What is your most memorable racing experience, inside or outside or BOTH? The Grand Prix TTT race with Aeonian, we weren’t expecting to do nearly as well as we did. It was great to share that achievement. Herne Hill crits in summer, can’t beat the vibes there! 

What is your favourite food to eat post race? Banana flavoured recovery shake, SIS have their chemical concoction down to a T. 

What advice would you give to a woman entering her first Zwift race? Remember it’s supposed to be fun, just starting and trying is already winning.
