Weekend

CZE cup mountain running, Hodkovice n/M – Ještěd, 14.2km, 790 asc.
I guess that was the last such race this year, unless someone will force me or we’re out of money 
. I thought that I can bare the pressure at the age I’m now. Well, not really… It still feels like 15 years back when I run athletics and xc races. The almost throw-up-feeling-before-the-start was the reason why I wasn’t so keen on participating… And yesterday the nightmare was even enhanced when I saw the guys on the line. Koukal, Magal, Kozisek. The feeling “I have got to be faster!”, dry mouth, numb legs was almost unbearable … Well, with the starting shot the nightmare slowly faded and after about 5 min normal Robert was back. The race was great; I enjoyed all remaining 55 min and finished 2:34 behind Mr. Magal and some French guy. It felt somewhat awesome, as me the organizer of the WSC in Liberec 2009 being faster than to-be-the-athletes (Koukal, Kozisek).
300m to go…
happy boyz on Jested
whole crew
Sunday:
Today I’ve accomplished the-long-planned training, Jested – Doksy. It is about one hour drive to Bohdana’s hometown and some 70km, but I guessed that going straight through the forest should be about 30km. Well, it was more like 40 km on the asphalt, gravel, forest paths and in the terrain with the temperature close to +30C. Luckily I took the compass along, where I really need it while running through former CCCP-military-area. The last couple of minutes were not so fun anymore, however, swimming in Machovo jezero right after the finish was f….g worth it! Yep, must plan something crazy again!
on the road…
