April 9, 2007 - Good test in Holland road race

Hilary defends her title at 2007 Peter Rusman Loop

For the second year in a row, Hilary lined up in the Peter Rusman road race, which is just under 6km, to go for the women's title and the overall win. The race provided a good early-season test and a chance to race back in Holland.

"Since we were travelling to Holland for Easter weekend I decided it was a great opportunity to race the Rusman Loop and compare my time to last year," said Hilary

Hilary ran over 30 seconds faster than last year and again took the women's title, but came up short of the overall win, finishing in 3rd place. Nevertheless, Hilary was pleased with the effort and said it confirmed that she was on the right track for the outdoor season.

"I took a bit of time off after the indoor season and have now been doing base or endurance work for a month, I figured this was a good time for a hard effort," she said after the race. " I won't race for a while now. I'm heading to St. Moritz in a couple weeks to train at altitude for three weeks.
