”The race felt good. I stumbled a bit after the 60m so I had to catch myself, but happened to catch the wind while catching the win. Keep going with the momentum I have now going back to the basics. Putting myself in a position to learn. I think if the conditions are good and we have a favorable wind to us. If everything is primed for us to run fast. We run fast. I am happy with putting the race together as I said before and getting the win.”
