How Hard is Racing A-Grade on Zwift? 

Great video

Well done , it takes a strong mentality to finish this race ....... The field was so stacked with big names , once they started making their moves, it was just brutal for everyone ..... Racing in such strong field will definitely help you stepping up your game and climb up the rankings , hope to race again with you soon

Strong ride! I chuckled out loud when you sprinted away from Alien! Always cool to see your perspectives in Zwift.

Thanks for the very informative video. I appreciate seeing all the power numbers and training hours numbers. Keep up the great work of working, training, racing, and making content.

Super strong effort! Those Zwift races are crazy! I've watched Norcal Cycling, who's a pro level crit racer try these races and he gets blown off the peloton as well. A lot of it is just knowing where the efforts are going to be ahead of time. I think you should be very proud of this effort. I know I'd hate to race you!

Great race break down! It's fun to hear the analysis from an elite-level Zwift racer. Thanks for editing it down to the key moments. See you in Watopia!

Great effort girl. I have watched my daughter do this on the road. She gives away years as well. Building a fitness for life. Next one will be better. Massive effort.

Tilly, amazing! Even just to attempt, and then know on a flatter route you're at a disadvantage to a climbing route, you have a warrior mentality to keep going as you did!! Bravo!

Solid effort. Great breakdown. Nice work on the edits Quality content right here. Subbed!

well done. this race was hard. Very skilled riders, and some of the strongest ind the world. there is no shame in being dropped on that hill, it was very hard paced

Deffo some big hitters in that race, bravo to you for giving it a go.

Really interesting and useful. Without knowing much about it I had figured out that you have to keep up on the hills so you confirmed it for me.

Love the sprint at the end! Hahaha always feels good on a ride when things don’t go as planned.

Love the determination at the end! Kick butt.

Some absolute Zwift hitters in this race, great ride.

Fair play Tilly to hang on as long as you did!! I was there that race was intense, many monsters in the field 💪🏻🙌🏻👊🏻

LOL!!! My wife hears me upstairs making grunts, groans and gasps and is like, "WTH are you doing up there?!" She don't get it. Glad to see I'm not alone.

That was a great effort. I've never done zwift but it looks fun

Great race. Nice effort Tilly. That's where I always get dropped by the front group in my races on this specific course 😁

Great riding, Tilly! I'm averaging 275.89 watts or 3.32/kg this month so I know what it takes to keep up a pace of 307 / 5.17/kg. Good job! I have a few years on you so thats the excuse I'm gonna take. :)

Good gravy those are some incredible numbers! And I really dug the TrainingPeaks analysis. I'm a huge data nerd as well, and it's really cool to be able to see how spiky some sections can get, what kind of numbers you need to push, and just how much work the total race is.

Alway like it when the pros give an analysis of their efforts. Also, glad you beat Mr. Alien to the line. Haha

You put up a good fight, that’s all that matters in cycling 💪

I can't train much because I have children but I'm now doing a C race once a week, it's a great workout and very fun.. Never come near the front but trying to hang on is rewarding. Good job!

I recently started riding bike. My FTP (170 watts) is less than what your comfortable power is. hahah. Incredible power there. Well done! Such an inspiration...

Love this!!! Great riding. Subbed!

Well done. That was very good.

Awesome effort Tilly

Bumped into your channel just now! Amazing effort on a horrible Yorkshire route.. even at 175bpm you look like an angel 😇 Wishing you continued success ❤

Go Tilly Go!!! Nice video

Well done you did really well, best of luck next time

Well done for keeping up with the group for that long and amazing final sprint. Keep up the great work.

crazy... thats intense ...great effort

Definitely some hard hitters in that field. Love sprinting with the As!

Kudos .. 6 hours training a week is practically nothing at this level. If you can find a way to double that, even if a lot of it is light Z2 or Z3 in erg while multi-tasking, you could do some real damage.

Awesome job!!

Good work. Keep it up!

Beautiful hustle, I recognize the clenched teeth angry face while you were holding on to the front group. I am often pulling the same expressions ^_^ Nice vid.

You did Amazing! A stiff field of A+ pushing 4.5W/kg. Glad you beat Mr. Aline. Thanks for sharing

this looks so fun. cool video

Great effort, tough course that!

Well done. Nice workout.

You are my hero 🙌🏻

this was a stacked field of men, incredible work ms field

Hah you out-sprinted Mr. Alien!!

Congrats on the video starting to go viral 🎉

Crazy good effort 🤯

Amazing effort! I was dying watching you. I plan to do more Zwift racing this winter, with the intention of using it for hard training efforts. We'll see how it goes.

Strong effort 👊

Spicey racing Tilly 🌶

Huge effort!

He was playing games at the end and you smoked him 😂🤩 great content 💪

Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow Great Job 💪

242W for 45 min is quite an achievement! I struggle with 190W for a 45 min ride :P.

Great video, it's hard going you did well👌 I wish there was a category where weight wasn't a factor and then people could win that can sustain more power. As a 100kg ride I'm pushing so much more power to keep up with the lighter riders and get destroyed on the hills. And it would give everyone the chance to compete with all types of rider

i didn't even know this was a thing. how cool

Really cool!

You were racing against men. Your power was amazing. 330 watts 5 minute power at 61KGs or so is super impressive. Thanks for sharing. KB

Jesus, that is a strong effort. I'm lucky to get to 4w/kg. Keep it up. Ride On.

Impressive effort.

Good effort!

Great video. When I watch that racing and pedaling I wish I´d be 30 years younger.

Crazy strong!

Great job

damn, A is pretty nuts. you did great.

Great channel

This was recommended to me. Pretty cool technology

You are strong 💪

Damn, you can push yourself. Kudos.

interesting feats of strength Tilly ... strong - maybe mass watts at the start would have kept you in the group as you clearly have the power, I tend to ride group rides on zwift and then move through the groups to a point I can sustain. dropping off groups on zwift always seems to waste the ride as the group draft is invincible. other times a large blob group can eat up smaller groups, that's fun being part of that domination. ride for fun.😀

This is EPIC

You picked one of the highest standard races on one of the toughest courses on Zwift!

Good effort.

Yeah that looks like me every race where theres a hill aswell;) Nice effort though!!

PLZ Tilly tell us more about the trainer you use!

Well done, so in conclusion I guess an A race is very hard :-) ? I think you just inspired me to try my next race in B, have been racing in C for a while where I normally can hang on to the group, but always fun to be challenged by something "very hard " :-)

Wait, I live there! 🤣🤣 Wooo Harrogate!!

This is cool 😎

Damn you're strong. You'd never know based on your results, but comparing to a bunch of A men you've obviously got it.

Really love this would love to get in to zwift but it is expensive and don't have to Experience

damn, five minutes in and those numbers are still high for the whole peloton, I think i've never been in a race that hard

I'm going to get destroyed and I can't wait!! I'll be joining some of these when I get the final pieces

Sorry for making it so violent from the start :D Nice race.

This was a very high level A race. I think you would have no problem in the average 3R race.

Good work sticking with it and finishing fast. One of my biggest dislikes of A Cat is how many people quit the second they get dropped.

Nice one

Great job! What trainer do you have? I'm looking...trying to build endurance.

I wish I had this level of fitness!

That's some amazing wattage

U r powerful 🎉well done😊

Spicy Spicy Spicyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Impressive

nice looking at getting a zwift.

Cool!

well done. look, do you know if its possible to choose races on Zwift with people on the same fit level? cheers

Strong!

Wow some serious watts, I have so much work to do.

Bravo 👍

Great effort. A grade is properly hard.
