Another Start of Season on Arrakis
First race in 2014: sand, map-change, great loss, ...
First race in 2015: sand, map-change, great loss, ...
The only one diffrence was that last year I forgot knee-socks and this year I didn't take a mirror with me. So maybe I will have better luck next year.
Aftermath: not only planes are falling down from the sky recently.
So get ready!
A surprise doesn't suppose to be always positive but it has to be big!
And what a big surprise awaited me on Sunday morning.

Organisatia Dementia
When You are organizing the Prague Winter League for two hundreds of competitors, all You need is a couple of people and up to twenty checkpoints....
...but when You are organizing the Prague Championship in Night Orienteering, You need: twenty organizers, fourty checkpoints, twenty diplomas, a stack of permissions. And all that for eighty runners.
But that was the better part of our weekend events in Frontal Kickmeat. The crucial point came on Sunday without Sun and with about three hundreds of cars to be parked.
But first You have to know how it looks like when His Majesty has to park his own carriage. For example at this parking in Coolec:
It is like: "Oh, please stop, don't hit the bus stop!"
So can You imagine someone parking there?
Challenge accepted.
Try Hard or Go to the Sandbox
Not only for orienteering lives His Majesty. I do a lot of other sports for example rock climbing and of course I don't have small goals. Lately I decided to conquer the summit of this beauty: the Pearl of Jestřebice.
It was a though challenge. But I mobilized all my strength and felt like the sandrock was passing meter by meter under my hands. Finally I reached the peak and the feeling was amazing. Just a little conquistador pic on the summit and go home. Other adventures are waiting.
I'm sorry but my former club of Narcissists and Amazons should do the next revision of their map more properly. Not only the vegetation is changing...
From Zero to Hero
What to do when my running is slowly turning into walking? Then there is nothing better than joining the running section of the Czech Tourists Club. There is a lottery with nice prizes and only one condition - reaching the finish.
The first encounter was last June when we attended the run from the Museum of Thimble to the Botanic garden. There were five runners and three prizes. So it looks promising, BUT!
The second encounter was this Saturday - the first day of Spring. The run started at Deeppegs, with an impasse to Ghoulyně Train Station and then going past the Dam of Aswan finishing at the Solar Square. Unfortunately we had Gabriela-Soukalova-alike start (see the electric pencil analysis below).
But all well that ends well (or near a well - but at the best near a kiosk with a tap)! This time we "solve" the lottery and win a backpack.
Fifty Thousands of Gays
Another milestone in my orienteering career is here! My blog reached fifty thousands of views. Fifty thousands, can You ever imagine it? For better understading: fifty thousands is like fifty times one thousand or a square root of 2,5*E9. So here are some stats.
The less I publish the more followers I have. But I am sorry, I don't do it for an ephemeral fame so I will bring You another load of silly articles. Anyway the 18th of February is now going to be The Veličenstvo.com's Day. (Maybe the Valentine will have some troubles from now on...)
Thanks to all (three) readers, (thousands of) bots, (crowd of) spammers, seventeen fans of Zeldaporn...
...and also the travel agency Yugo-star!
The article should be ended by a positive tagline:
