Katie Kory began cycling in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. After a battle with long COVID symptoms and recurring sickness in late 2021 and all of 2022, she began coaching herself back to fitness as a new years resolution at the beginning of 2023. Since then she coached herself through 350km Zwift rides, virtual everesting basecamps, and even to all-time PRs. As long as she is on the bike challenging herself, she is happy.
