This was the first time since 2018 I have done this one. It's always a great race and well organized. It was also the last time I pulled n 11 minute 3k. This is the race that was postponed this year by 3 weeks due to the Prigozhin "rebellion" on the 24 June. All events in Moscow and the region were cancelled that weekend due to safety concerns. I was fortunate to have some good ladies to run with and started out in back as usual and worked up. I ran with a high school girl who was pacing just under 4 min/km and went hard for that first 11 minute 3 k since I last did this race! With the death of the Alaska outdoor Championships in late July, I have zero-yes ZERO summer track opportunities available to me stateside for racing. I ended up winning the masters by quite a bit. I was glad to be able to get back for this one :)
