    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

    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.

    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!

      NorCal racers should really be able to keep up! I've seen videos of those guys racing in real life, they're crazy strong

      maybe cause all those kids fake their weight ingame to get an unfair advantage?

      @@xKillYourTVx I’m sure there is cheating involved in some of the races, but I do know that some of the more official Zwift races require you to verify certain things through Strava and other sources to try to cut back on the cheating. I never race on Zwift seriously, just for a good workout. Nobody is getting paid one way or the other on most of these races, so I don’t know why people cheat.

    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.

    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

    @marcus_velo_9970 2 роки тому +1

    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.😀

      @dupondavignon869 2 роки тому

      Yes there are many cheaters. The worst thing IS there are pros among them (winning unfair monthly money), even if their fake is obvious, like improving 50w (for the same heart rate) in 1 week or... becoming smaller (losing height) over time... Zwift : when actual low B, if not C, Can pretend to be A+ or even 5w+ ftp without problem.
