Zee Kryder Biography

Thanks for coming. I'll tell you a little bit of who I am as a cyclist

I began Zwifting November 2016. It helped me reduce stress and ride when I couldn't leave home for long. That chapter finally ended almost a year ago. But, by then, I became addicted to indoor training and racing.

I did the 2017 Zwift Academy. I did fairly good (Two fourth place finishes and great workouts, except the sprint repeats.)

I started a weight loss group called ZwiftOff. We have weekly group rides (but not during Academy).
You can download and try them for free: ZwiftOff Workouts

At the same time, I began writing articles, mostly on health and fitness, for Zwift Insider. I love it but finding the time can be a real challenge.

Zee's Articles





I have made improvements since last year's Academy. I have a lot of racing experience. Although, I have done too much and have severely over-trained twice; last year before the Academy ended and again after 6 months of KISS Crit Series(finished in 5th place in the Europe edition and had a win in the North America race) and 3 months of  CVR races ( a head to head competition where I only won one race but second place the other 7 races or so.)

Zee's Races and Stats (My stats can't be altered, but some high numbers were from before I had an accurate power meter and I had to use a Garmin wheel sensor and estimated Z power which was off by 35-50 watts unbeknownst to me. I removed them from my Today's Plan stats and my Zwift files.) ZwiftPower scores are now only from past 90 days, so estimated power results are gone. I score in the top 20, from 8 to 12 generally. You have to choose high scoring races, if you want to earn race points (wbr events don't count) (Update 8/2019 Now I'm fighting to stay in top 100. I've cut back heavily on racing for my health as it's too much plus a lot of new girls have come in from the pro's)

I also entered and won my National Championship. It was a tough race but some other countries (like USA and England) have a lot more competition.

I am a short distance rider, think of track cycling's 500 meter and 3 Kilometer Pursuit. I specifically target goals by time ( ie 10, 20, 30, 60 seconds and 1,2,3,5,8,20 minutes pushing my max in different workouts. I am best at 1 - 5 minutes.

I have done a lot on Zwift. I helped design the Highline Road on New York (originally designed for Richmond. I agree that the glass roads are amazing, but my design is below in 'Hot Wheels' orange. Also, the Speed Wheel at the start of some time trials, the Invisible Power-Up, the World Championship races in 2018 and 2019.

I also wanted more than the sloth in the Jungle and I told Eric Min when the Jungle came out that I wanted a T-Rex. He gave me a thumbs up but I never heard anything else until the new Titan course came out. So, he surprised me with the t-Rex. (Still need that ZwiftOff jersey...waiting...waiting...wait for it.)

Currently working on Switzerland Course details for August 2020 release and a Greek Marathon Course (Sparta to Athens in all its original glory...and yes you run naked with only an olive wreath for protection...lol)

I'm a bit behind in condition for this year's 2019 Academy. But maybe I will peak in late September as coached instead of a burnout by the end of August. I still collect jerseys when possible and now have 106. (I have codes for 50 I never grabbed but i took the ones I liked already)

So, I won the top 60 second spot during the 2018 Academy and had second place in the 2 minute effort. I have to update chart. The chart above is prior to the Academy and below is the Academy results. I had a 551 in the one minute and got beat by a 243 in the 2 minute. It is hard to beat a max effort because by shooting higher, you run the risk of seizing up a few seconds before the finish.
