Day 44 of Season 262 covers 13 May — a Tuesday, eleven days into the post-deadline phase — and the field settles into the structures that will define the season’s remaining weeks. Thirty verified runs produce 242.3 km across three active formats: Nairobi, Streets, and Francisco Goya. No .execution sessions appear today, though the race remains active through 5 June.
Nairobi absorbs 175.0 km from 20 sessions — a concentration that, at 72% of the day’s total, represents the race’s gravitational pull as the season’s open-ended anchor. The most striking contribution comes from Vadim Terehov, who logs four separate entries totalling 43.5 km: 12.0 km, 11.5 km, 10.0 km, and 10.0 km. Whether these represent four separate training blocks in a single day or a batch upload of recent sessions, the volume is the largest single-athlete contribution to any race on 13 May — and the four-entry structure, filing each block independently, echoes the logging style seen from Surganov and others who treat individual intervals or runs as distinct records.
Ilya Muzurov logs 16.3 km in Nairobi — a meaningful departure from the 21.2 km that had defined each of his previous eight consecutive days in the race. The pattern had been so consistent that any deviation registers: since transitioning from Mistake in late April, Muzurov has been accumulating at a near-identical half-marathon distance each day, now building a Nairobi total north of 230 km. The 16.3 km does not end the streak — it simply shortens it, and the cumulative direction remains unchanged. Kokorin leads the men’s Nairobi standings at 433.1 km, Krymskiy sits second at 409.6 km, and Muzurov continues to advance from fifth position.
Ilya Pavlov annotates his 13.2 km Nairobi session as “course inspection for the 23 May race.” The note places him on a route he expects to race competitively in ten days, using the virtual race format to log the reconnaissance. It is one of several instances this season where Nairobi’s open geography and absence of a fixed distance target make it a natural container for real-world race preparation — Krymskiy’s Myshkinskoye circuit, Kokorin’s Boston 13 break-in run, and now Pavlov’s pre-race route survey.
Zhargal Bazarov logs 13.7 km in Nairobi with the annotation “GPS was playing up today” — a direct echo of Dmitrieva’s GPS complaint on 8 May. The two notes, five days apart, point to the same structural issue that surfaces periodically in virtual race data: tracking devices introduce noise that athletes sometimes flag explicitly in their session text. Bazarov does not say what the recorded distance would have been without the interference, so the entry stands as logged.
Elena Dubinina enters Streets with a 13.6 km session — her first recorded activity in the race and the largest Streets entry of the day. Dubinina closed Mistake on 10 May with a 29 km double session; the pivot to Streets on her first post-deadline appearance suggests a deliberate redistribution of effort into the next available format rather than a rest period. Streets closes on 31 May; at 13.6 km in one session, she enters with 18 days remaining. Ekaterina Gavrilova files 5.0 km in the same race with the note: “Evening run at Prityazheniye, every Wednesday at 19:30” — a recurring club event she uses as a Streets accumulation session.
Francisco Goya receives 26.6 km from five sessions. Ekaterina Petrenko adds 10.5 km, bringing her total well above the 25 km corridor — the second woman to complete the race target after the men’s field. Svetlana Serebryannikova extends her position to 23.0 km (92%), within one long session of closing. The race’s women’s standings are more developed than the men’s: two women are past or approaching 100% while the men’s table beyond Aleksey Homyakov — who closed on 12 May — has yet to see a second completion.
Day 44’s 242.3 km is consistent with the post-deadline weekly rhythm that has emerged since 11 May. The field is not racing toward a deadline; it is building patiently into formats whose timelines extend weeks further. The real-world calendar is increasingly visible in the session notes — course inspections, club nights, shoe break-ins — and the virtual race platform absorbs it all without distinction.
