Bohu & Robert & kids…

After 10Mila I have decided to have a competition break and concentrate only on trainings. Last Thursday I could again get a taste of real competition feeling in PRISMA-rastit, which was held close to Lohja. Middle distance in very nice terrain, lots of controls, direction changes, yes that was good! After the race we drove for a Jukola training camp close to Salo. We’ve had a great O-camp in very demanding terrains. Lots of climbing, very detailed, it’s gonna be really great Jukola this year!

This weekend Sprint champs in Tuusula. Hope it’ll go nicely, and then only Jukola. After that… nobody cares anymore, it’s a midsummer time! (Even if it dos not look like summer at the moment: 10C and raining.)

Bohdana after finishing writing her Thesis could at last switch the work button to the position “OFF” for a while She has started to train, although the maximum running distance yesterday was some 20m. Her ankle is not completely healed yet, so she only hopes to be able to run Venla relay. No pressure this year!

And one more: we have been running a competition in 2003 in one of the Jukola official training terrain; check the forest/map-maker development here. Quite interesting, I’d say…

Vetsinou kazde rano, po tom co se vyhrabu z postele, vycistim si zuby a nasnidam se, poustim meho milaska do chodu, abych zase usednul pred ten monitorovy-magnet a delal, ze delam, a pritom jenom predstiram, ze delam, a v podstate jenom brouzdam. Vetsinou se podivam, jestli nahodou nekdo z mych oblibenych blogystu nepripsal nejakou zajimavou story s peknyma fotkama nebo nejakou tu veselou historku z nataceni. Proste vetsinou neco pozitivniho, jako ze se mame vsichni fajn… Nebyt nas vecne uplakanych hypochondrickych sportovcu, kteri si porad stezuji, ze je neco boli nebo ze to zase nekde v lese po… nebo ze se na ne nekdo vy… a nevzal je na nejake ty veledulezite preteky, by se zdalo, ze se mame vsichni naramne dobre! Nepamatuji si, ze bych nekde na blogu cetl, ze se ma nekdo fakt blbe, ze nekoho vykradli, vyhodili z prace…

Proste diky netu to vypada, ze se vsichni mame skvele. A taky ze jo! Nicmene, pak se clovek s nekym potka a skoro prvni co slysi je, jak to stoji za prd! Sef je …, protoze porad neco chce a navic dava malo penez. Nebo ze byt je maly a stary a je potreba ho opravit, ale neni z ceho. Nebo ze uz by asi fakt bylo potreba zacit poradne bouchat, ale zatim jeste jako neee, tak co jako s tim, atd.

Nebyt tech za velkou louzi a CERNu kdovi jak bychom ted asi zili… No asi stejne, ale ze se ostani maji taky tak skvele, to bychom bohuzel kazde rano zjistit nemohli.

No nicmene my se mame ALE OPRAVDU fajn!

During the winter time Janne Weckmann has been posting/speculating on his weblog http://weckman.blogspot.com the team orders of the top-10 contenders for the 10-MILA 2006. I had some spare time yesterday so I could check how he actually succeeded. I must say he guessed some teams pretty well, mostly the Finnish ones, but also BSK for example. Some teams according to him were quite way off, but that’s what the speculations are about. Nice reading anyway!

He seems to be busy lately so it’s a pity that we cannot get some Jukola teams as well as some O-technique tips (even when written in Finnish).

Tak aby to nevypadalo, ze se porad jenom honime za lampionama, byli jsme minulou sobotu na lodne/cyklo vylete v nedalekem archipelagu. Bohda nemuze behat, jediny sportovni pohyb je pro ni na kole a ja jsem ‘odpocival’, takze jsme vyrazili na vylet. Spousta trajektu, spousta aut, paradni vyhledy. HODNE slunicka a tim padem priserne vedro! Jeste ze na tech trajektech fucelo! Projeli jsme Houtskär s jednim defektem na tech nasich arabech, dali zmrzlinu s parasem (samo bez chleba) v Nagu a dalsiho parasa doma. Celkove pekny, doporucujeme!

Torn ligament in the ankle is today’s diagnosis by the famous sport doc. Jussi Ikonen. Four more weeks without running and inline skating! Live sucks, sometimes!

10 MILA 2006 is over!

I remember we have been discussing with Heikki in Lapland in February this year if either of us have ever run the O-race finishing totally dead after crossing the finish line. I have never experience this feeling. Well, not until 10 MILA this year. On the Sunday morning, I have run the O-race for about 30 min with the speed I have never thought I could actually be capable of in respect to orienteering technique. Of course I can run with such a pace (and faster) on the track, but combining this speed with a solid navigation???!!!
I started at 7:30 AM the 9th leg with a good pace, but still I could easily read the map. It went on, unfortunately with 2 min mistake, for about half an hour until Michal Jedlicka from TP had caught me up. From then on I had to shift my speed gear to the highest one. I could not believe myself that we would run that fast for the rest of the race. Well, we did! The first 5 min or so I was barely holding on Jedla’s back unable to read the map. However, I somehow recovered from that shock, went to the lead and was even able to speed up for some periods of time. The last few hundred meters were just a pure pain, but I knew, that it won’t last much longer. If the race would have been some hundred metes longer, I really don’t know…
Jedla you are my hero!

Anyway, our team had started very well, the 4th leg went off in the leading group, but unfortunately Jaska had really a bad luck this time! He had lost his contact lens, had to run for some minutes just with one, put on the spare one on the spectator control and finished very tired some 14 min behind the lead. After some up and downs we finished on 27th spot some 36 min behind the wining Halden SK.

JUKOLA!

Po lonskem dlouhem-nocnim dobrodruzsti (långa natta) jsem letos zvolil ‘vyckavaci’ taktiku, abych se vyhnul jakemukoliv nocnimu useku. Moc jsem nejezdil na nocni treninky, uz jenom proto, ze byly v lese porad ty bile sracky a taky proto, ze nocni sucks! No vyplatilo se! Zbyl na me 12 km devaty DENNI usek! Takze pohoda, no az na to, ze jsem se nevyspal… prijel jsem na shromazdiste prilis brzo, trochu mrznul a malem usnul v sede… Nastesti prvnich par rychlych metru v 7:30 rano s mapou me probralo. Se Sedou za zady jsem do toho zacal prat. Asi nekde v pulce me doklepnul Jedla, okamzite jsem preradil z 5tky na 6ku, vypnul mapovani a pulku dlouheho postupu smerem zpet k tunelu jsem obcas jen tusil kudy asi tak muzeme jit. Za tunelem jsme vymenili volant a snad jeste trochu zrychlili, do cile jsem dobehnul tak tak. Byt to o 100m delsi, tak nevim…
Zacali jsme vyborne, Jaska vybihal na dlouhou noc v 1. baliku. Bohuzel mel smulu, vypadla mu v pulce trati cocka, bezel nejakou dobu s jednou, na divacke mu Tero pomohl nandat nahradni. Sam a dost hotovy dobehl 14 min za vedenim. Pak uz jsme to jenom tak nejak udrzovali. Nakonec z toho bylo 27. misto.

Tak a ted JUKOLA!
