It was a tough race for Humboldt's William Dutton Friday morning, as he competed at the 2017 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships.
Taking place in Gangneung, South Korea as a test event for next year's Pyeongchang Olympics, Dutton was competing in the 500-metre race.
He finished in 15th place, with a time of 35.07 seconds.
A result that he was quite displeased with, according to a post on his Twitter account after the race.
"Extremely disappointed by my race today. Sorry to all who've supported me. I will not let this happen next year. Prepared to win and execute," he stated.
'Next year', would of course be the Olympics, where he looks to also better a 14th place finish at the Sochi Games in 2014.
Dutton's personal best time of 34.25 seconds is third best among those who were competing in Gangneung.
