| “Pretty solid weekend for the fourth round of the National Hare and Hound series. I executed my start well and got out to an early lead. Unfortunately, I struggled pretty badly in the first 20 miles of sand dunes and fell back a few spots before recovering and working my way back towards the front. I once again spent most of the day going back and forth, closing the gap to the leader and then getting pulled away from it. It’s been a challenging start to the year, but we’ll keep working and get some wins in the future.” |
