Women Who Race // Ep.4 Fiona Kolbinger

A special series spotlighting the women in Lost Dot races. Join Taylor as she sits down with Fiona Kolbinger, who made history in 2019 with her overall victory at TCRNo7. We dive headlong into racing strategy, and Fiona shares advice for preparing for a race like the Trans Pyrenees Race, where she finished in 7th place and was first woman across the line. We also delve into how Fiona got into ultra-racing in the first place, and hear her philosophy on the narrowing gender gap in ultra-distance cycling. Applications for TPRNo5 close Sunday 9th February, and we hope this episode might inspire you to take to the start line yourself!

Om Podcasten

Stories from the Transcontinental Race, the Trans Pyrenees Race, and The Accursed Race. At the sharp end they are beautifully hard bicycle races, simple in design but complex in execution. Factors of self reliance, logistics, navigation and judgement burden racers’ minds as well as their physiques. The strongest excel and redefine what we think possible while many experienced riders target only a finish.
