Ιλιάδα

Today His Majesty Menelaos, the king of Sparta, went to pillage Troy - the famous fort in Little Asia (established name for the territory on the eastern shore of Vltava river). Homer's epos contains many useful information about the race but there is not any reference about the steep muddy slopes of Troy hillfort. The elevation to the first control is almost equal to the whole climb on Saturdays 15 kilometers long event. According to Iliad the siege was to last ten years but His Majesty conquered Troy in less than one hour. So it was another very succesful campaign.

Veličenstvo Went Green!

As the season is underway and the weather is hot and sunny at the end of May it is a perfect period to improve map skills. So why not take a short map training in the near forrest of Little Voice at Not-bushville. Here are the maps:

Now I can tell You it is a disgusting advertising trick as the woods around Not-bushville are full of bushes. The map from Prague Winter League is really cool but today it should look almost like the former flag of Libya. And so was the weather - cold and rainy.

2nd PPŽ - Race at Necky Forrest

I am not sure what was the most f*cking about the race: f*cking weather or my f*cking routechoice... Anyway I really like the F word because there is the word King in it. As no results have been available yet I can tell you that my true race time was really astonishing.

9.034!!! ....Not Ranking Points But Seconds On The Track

After my unsuccesful performance at Prague Long Distance Championship in 2011 (also known as Boran's Rocky Nests) I gathered all of the residues of mental power to accept another challenge – Prague Long Distance Championship 2013 in Screamhezky. My prediction of 150 minutes was almost precise. My race was two and a half hour and thirty-four seconds of stones, ravines, hills and stones. Ravines, stones, hills, stills, hivines, raills... Together with mud, brooks and a lack of refreshment points it was really a Solar Armageddon - and my performance was almost equal to Casper Van Dien – with one word: garbage!

As the competition center was situated in the forrest theater this article is ended by a folk poem about the race.

P.S.: Ask dad if you want to see the map.

Only Thirteen Hours To (Oh-My-)Go!

Only twelve hours are left to the start of Prague Championship on long distance. The drama takes place at the forrest theatre in Screamhezky. Now it is not clear whether it would be a comedy or tragedy but there will be one special quest: His Majesty.

But the whole race is really a mystery for me. I tried to read the instructions but Czech language is truly very hard to understand.

 

Sparta? No, This Is Madness!!!

On Wednesday I attended the opening stage of one of the most famous world O-series (the one where nobody ask you about your Czech ranking) - The Pe-Pe-Zhet 2013. The race took place in the areal of Bohnice Psychedelic Hospital. My performance was astonishing but after my amazing race I was disqualified. I don't know where I made the mistake and it was only a training but the result is really killing me...
So now I am writting from my cage in the pavilon number 27 - the section for patients suffering with mentalpowerlessia.

"X Never, Ever Marks The Spot"

And I did not follow maps to buried treasure... The maps led me to two ultimate defeats.
