Welcome to my digital orienteering map archive!

Naporstá katastrofa. Celej les, bez rozdílu jestli to byl hustník nebo čistej les, byl zabušenej kopřivama, bodlákama, trním a trávou až do výšky očí i závodníků většího vzrůstu. Mapa místy neseděla vůbec, místy trochu. Dohledávka porostových kontrol byla naprosto o náhodě (na k. 13 se nechávaly i desetiminutové chyby, nebo k. 14) Když cesta byla v mapě, tak to neznamenalo, že bude i v terénu. My co jsme startovali na začátku jsme měli ještě k tomu obrovskou nevýhodu neprošlapaných pěšin, či spíš dálnic.

Pretty difficult race in such a high alltitude. In reality there was much more snow than in the map so we ran quite often in very wet snow which made it even more difficult. So the routechoice which shows that I ran threw the lake is correct because there was ice and snow which made it possible to cross it :)

This was total shit. Some might say that the best ones can run in whatever terrain and that this isn't problem for them, yes thats true, but still I think that in this terrain where even map in scale 1:5000 wouldn't be enough is bad decision to make final of czech championship... If they would make there some summer competition than I wouldn't say anything, for those who don't like fast orienteering it may be perfect choice, but not in final of czech championship, besides the print quality (at least my map) was pretty bad. I can see with my own eys the noise on the edges of countour lines for example. So I can say organisation was the perfect but if this club would like to make some big competition ever again they should really consider what is suitable for elite competitions in orienteering... I will not comment my performance because it was in one word bad. Just look at sixth control...

It was much nicer than I expected. Not so much rocks and if were there some than it was no problem to read situation corectly from tha map. The route was good mix of more difficult slower legs with easier and faster legs. So the middle as it should be. I ran really good and I passed to the final A. Even though I was in most difficult heat group because organisers didn't manage to make heat groups. After such nice qualitfication I was looking forward to the final but unfortunately the terrible and unacceptable choice of the terrain for final ruined the whole competition. I have also say that despite the fact it was championship so one would expect everything best, the quality of print of the maps was horrible.

My favourite terrain, nice course but unfortunatelly my most hated weather. Temperatures around 30°C were too much for me and I strugled almost from the beggining. My stomach hurt , my brain was overheated and I couldn't breathe. I was really thinking about to give up but I wanted to finish this race near to my house. I can't rate the map technic in this race because my brain refused to work so I couldn't concentrate for map at all. Despite this I didn't many mistakes but if it was 15 degrees colder it would be completely different race from me, but it is unfortunatelly just if...

On the way to 9th control I was in map further than in reality so when I was crossing second road I was already on third road in my head. Than I crossed erosion gully but in head I was already on the amelioration groove so I started to look for the control and it took one minute before I realize where is the mistake.

Very nice middle. Runners from 3rd to ca 16th position were in just 30 seconds. However as there were a lot of runners race were becoming faster in the end thanks to routes to controls which led runners without hesitating directly to controls.

Long distance in very nice terrain of Česká Kanada. I was pretty tired from 10mila and sprint championship so I didn't feel neccessary strenght in my legs. However I ran quite clear race with some worse routechoices.

My first sprint championship among adults. I didn't have a good beginning of the race. On the first control I didn't realize that a small way in the map is in reality just another level of city wall so I did more than 20 sec mistake here. On the leg to third control I choosed a good route choice but on the last part of the leg a misslooked and ran to 4th control instead of 3rd. That stupid mistake costed me 40 seconds. So if the third control was a start I would have a medal :D. Unfortunately it wasn't and 18th place is not as good. From third control to finnish I lost only 7 seconds to the winning Vojtěch Král. However I have to say that it was very nice competition area for Czech standards quite difficult. However it was a TV competition and I think course maker have should made courses easier and faster because this haven't looked good in TV when plenty of runners have must stoped during the race and watched to map for seconds.

This year I ran 3rd leg on Tiomila. 13km and not forked. I started just after the sunset so it was a night leg. When I got a map we were just 2 minutes after the leading team. I ran in the strong group with such teams as Kalevan rasti, södertälje-Nykvarn and so on. Head of the group was really fast and group was quite big so when I ran somewhere in the middle of group it was really difficult because you have to be carefull to not hit with the other runners and if you lost just half a meter to a runner before you than somebody will immidiately to overrun you. I had no problem with speed in the forest but when we ran on the roads pace was really crazy I had lot of work to do to keep this pace. The biggest problem was that as we were maybe 35 or 40 runners in the group than on some controls where were just two SI punching boxes to punch the control. 10 runners were simultaneusly trying to stick SI card to the hole. It was really tough fight. When I managed to punch I had only few moments before somebody kick me out withou seeing neither light or hearing sound so I was really nervous if I have all the controls in my si card. In the second part of the race we even cought the leading group so on change I was 26th but just 30 seconds behind the leader.

Bad race for me. The lack of concentration caused stupid mistake on the 1st control and some more afterwards. On 10th control I mispunched. I punched the stone instead of the little valley approximately 10m from the stone

Quite unusual terrain for Vysočina. Lot of rocks and remnats after stone mining and lot of undergrowth (blackberries). I did some small mistakes in final parts of legs when I couldn't read map perfectly. However it was fun.
