Yesterday was THE day for the baby to be born, however already from the very beginning we know who rules! So we’re still anxiously waiting…

In order to “kill” the time, at least I have been doing some orienteering. I have, after living for 1,5 years in Liberec, discovered yet another GREAT terrain. Skalni Brana, the area just 15 km from our house, which was supposed be used for the Long distance during the WOC 2008. Unfortunately, the Liberec Organizing Committee had to withdraw from the candidacy due to the NORDIC WSC 2009, and thus the CZE O-federation had given the green lights to the green-bushy-shity-Olomouc-terrains.
What a pity!!!

Some recent O-trainings:
Skalni brana #1 #2 and Cisarsky kamen

Max Cavalera himself and Territory LIVE!!! The dream has come through!!!
The old Judas geezers Priest afterward were nothing to compare…
SATURDAY - MIDDLE
if the terrain and the course is great, I could run middles everyday…

SATURDAY - SPRINT
the dullest mistake of the year!!! Sometimes I wonder how come I’m able to switch the brain OFF so easily…

SUNDAY - LONG
who’s the fool???
Of course me, since I did few stupid mistakes during the race. Anyway, check the picture below. How would/should one run to the finish?
Unmarked 160m from the last control to the goal.
I did run as I was supposed to, however, the finish line was nowhere to be seen. After some minutes charging the bushes I turned back and run to the “correct” goal.
Yes, I’m probably the stupid one, there were flags from the last control leading towards the goal. It was also mentioned in the instruction that due to printing (A4 format) the finish circle had to be placed onto a non-existing position. Nevertheless I’m running according to the map and the control descriptions…
No harm done, probably I just waned to prove how “smart” I am…
PS: in two weeks time our family will expand a bit… ![]()

Anna and two in one package
People should run more often in order to think clearly and prevent messing up other people’s lives! I keep saying this since June last year when things at work turned very dodgy!
Here’s the proof, Ronnie O’Sullivan, often considered one of the most naturally talented players in snooker history says: “[Running is] the best therapy I’ve ever had,”. Read more here
Czech orienteers apparently do not like to run sprints. For that reason the “calendar committee” has decided some time ago to implement the sprint races into weekends were it could/would “suite”. The results of that invention is, in my opinion, complete NONSENSE!
Imagine:
Saturday: AM - Sprint, PM - Relay league (or vice versa)
Sunday: AM - Relay league
It is NOT common that the competition center is the SAME for all three races. Usually one has to drive some distance, which makes the weekend perfectly hectic! We were given to experience such a wonderful opportunity again last weekend during CZE-champs-weekend.
SATURDAY
MIDDLE semifinals - Černé Voděrady
Almost a perfect race, only I have forgotten one control…
SPRINT semifinal - Bohnice
Ei mihinkä!!! Literally… at least I was in a telly (LIVE)

…started already on Thursday with the Forssa Games, including myself as well. After 7 years I was finally at the spot at the so-called the best-one-day-O-event in the World. Where and when one like me can run against Ikonen, Gueorgiou, Novikov and others? I guess only at Forssa…
The trip from home was quite hectic, I got to the prestart at 18.10 (officially closed at 18.00)
and so was the feeling through the whole race. Luckily the course was only 4.1km long… well even that short I was still able to screw it properly!
