Гробница Деда Мороза

Двенадцатый гонка Пражской зимние лиги состоялась возле Дворе Короля в это воскресенье. Снегу как летом в Сибири и холодно как свинье уссурийске. Побежало се на карте из старой школы - с легендарный рекламой на автобусы дяди ФУЦКЕРА.

Это была грубая гонка. Вы ничего так суровой не будете посмотреть или на следующей неделе в Сочи. Только что вернулся представление в спортивное ориентирование из концентрации, Я пошел в этот смертельной гонке.

Давайте посчитаем:
всего: 9.0 версте / 300 м косяк / 1.4 часов
Я потерял это о бороду Санта Клауса...

It Sparkles for Better Times?

The 11th stage of PWL – Good Old Sparklava took place near Drydocks in a small village of Notnachomore – the home of organic food company Country Life.

It was very cold weather but the surroundings seemed hot – the proximity of the famous colony of Hot Slope was indicated by the rainbow waterslide in the local camping site on the way to the first control.

And what about me. I was limited by a heavy wound after falling backwards on a birch stump which nearly ripped my body to my bones. However I finished the race which had been my first appearance in the new jersey and as I look at the results the Battle of Log would be a tough challenge this season. Mainly with Charcoal Burner.

Let's brush up the former glory.

Again 2 Billy Goat? Rather Not!

The start of this year did not catch me up in a good shape. After losing the yellow jersey of PWL last week in the race "The Classic of Three Kings without King,"  I made my first participation in the Billy Goat Race. In the beginning it was good but in the middle it became as scary as the Czech animated horror movie "Goat Story."

Oh My Goat! I'm so frightened

It was more than two and a half of hours of suffering, pain and wandering around the control X. Then I finally reached the finish and can go home. Anyway according to the latest counts I have scored over 300 points. And that means my overall best score ever in a single race. And there is also another one reason to celebrate. As You can see in the chart below it was my best race of current season in the points per minute succes rate.

Simply the Best (of All Mutants)

Do They Know It's Christmas Time At All?

WTF? Christmas have to be the time of calm contemplation in front of a television and eating.

But because of the despotism of the organisers of O-activities His Majesty had to run and drink.

Here is a short summary of the Christmas festivities.

Saturday morning: Heroes of Mice & Magic 

The 6th stage of PWL was set up around Yizhaak, Yizhaak - the city of shattered dreams with a competition centre near the Guestcook Dam. His Majesty competed in the "B" class which was not so good for point gatherers but it was good enough for a player of "Magic: The Gathering" as there was lying some playing cards just behind the first control. Then came the first fault.

What a shame because it was an easy thing for every movie fan. See FilmovaMista.cz.

Then came the horses and I became faint. "My Kingdom for a horse!" but noone replied so I had to finish the race on my own. And then came another fault. I think You know the old orienteering proverb: "With honesty You run the longest route."

From that point it was a classic Prague routine: fall on poisonous plants, homeless homes, spines and mud. And are You still waiting for the above mentinoned mice? Then visit the facebook account of Mr Azak who gathered up the last control together with a mouse treasure guard.

Saturday afternoon and evening: Up and Down

The Christmas wander with the Royal family was up and down from Badbreeding to Girl Castles, Ant hill, Ploughshare, Peacock hill and finally to Nagano 98.

Then the "Kotlářka" soiree down in Souterrain. His Majesty took his time with his head down on the table then he woke up and went on. On the way to the disco we exchanged a cup for pot and we got high. And then finally we went down to the Heaven.

Sunday morning: I did not attend

Sunday evening: Three strikes are enough

Praga Magica - Prague Towers - Prague Evening Paper: what they have in common?
It is every time the same insanity. Better eating carps and buying gifts. But please do not study my route-choices because it is crap.

Hayrakes Plant River Slopes

Sunday PWL race was one of the breathtaking moments in the history of orienteering as the map was created by a groundbreaking technology in map-making.

It was very interesting race. Unfortunately the shadows doesn't lie and the promised elevation of 670 metres was also true. For example look at the control 24.

 The dark side of the map was not so veget. So the gray-brown map was much more useful.

After finish I changed my clothes and had about ten minutes until the departure of our train home. But when the competiton centre is in a beer garden of a railway-station restaurant it is a call of duty to have at least one beer. So one big quick medium billy-goat fixed it.
