These Triple Crown races can actually swing both means in terms of factors – be actually good to you or be pricey in factors in case you allow them to. Within the first race, I rode fairly effectively and was battling up entrance for second place, however I simply didn’t trip that nice within the second and third races, made too many little errors and passing was actually powerful, which price me the general podium.

I received one other good begin within the second race however simply went backward, so I made some massive modifications to the bike for the ultimate race and received a extremely good begin. Once more, I went backward just a little, however I felt prefer it was a greater race. All in all, it was an off day for me – it was a tricky monitor to cross on, and we haven’t seen hard-pack circumstances like that for some time.
