– I feel much, much better than after the classic Tyumen fifty dollars in the Russian championship. But the race is still hard, and I’m a little cold.
Today’s tone was set first by Alexei Shemyakin, then by Dmitry Kondrashov. I thought I wouldn’t even make the top ten, the last lap was on wooden legs. Before the climb, I understood that I could fall on the descent, because my legs could no longer hold. In general, I’m satisfied, at 70 kilometers it’s my first victory. I won almost all disciplines of the Russian championship, there was only gold in 50 and 70 kilometer marathons, neither skateboarding, nor classics, and classic team sprint. Now I closed a position, unchecked it.
– We thought you wouldn’t make it into the top ten, but you came in first. What helped?
– Patience. Kondrashov didn’t drive much on the final lap; He must have had a hard time too. Both went to morality-volunteer, – said Ustyugov “”.
The Monchegorsk marathon was the last start of the Russian cross-country championship program.
