A former football player who retired from that sport at around 18 years old in 2006 due to medical issues with her knees, Penton started her first cycling race in 2013.[3] She'd begun to take cycling seriously for the first time in 2011 whilst working in a bike shop, completing the 300km Vätternrundan sportive the same year.[4] In 2017, Penton won the Swedish National Road Race Championships: the first time in seven years neither Emma Johansson nor Emilia Fahlin were Swedish champion, notably neither Fahlin nor Johansson raced the 2017 championships.[5]
