Beating Russians on the historical day feels always great!
…and with Finnish commentary, oh yeah I call it a day!

That was A concert! Pity, that due to noise-regulations (the stadium is in the middle of Prague) the show had to be ended at 22:00 sharp!!!

Rules, rules, rules…

Off we go!!!

The darkness has set but feared no one

WOC LIVE, how “exciting”…

Meanwhile some basic middles around Liberec…
Beran and Kancak

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!!!

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…
