Narrative:

I was landing at ttn. I had a nice smooth touchdown on runway 24. On the ground roll when I was trying to exit the runway; a sudden gust of wind hit me. I lost control for a second and went off the side of the runway and into the grass. I was able to get off the grass and back onto the runway and taxi back to the ramp as directed by ATC.
