V neděli jedem s klukama Šváchyčem a Honzou Jeligou na Radeč, bohužel bouldery nejsou úplně suchý. Martinovi to samozřejmě vůbec nevadí a ukazuje, že v sobotu jenom "zaváhal". Přelézá nejtěžší bouldery, jako by v sobotu vůbec nezávodil, inu rezervu má opravdu obrovskou... Já s Honzou vylezu Kopanec 7C a dvě hodiny neúspěšně asi 7 krát padám z posledního chytu Kick Boxu 8A+, bohužel síla a podmínka, jsou proti, každopádně jsem z Radče hrozně nadšen, tak snad příště už tady něco posekám...
2nd place at Czech Cup BB Prague (and Radeč)
This weekend saw the first round of the Czech Cup at BB in Prague. I had been very excited about this race because I had never been at a competition there and I really liked the boulder wall. The sportsmen nicely arranged into ranks during the qualifications. It was enough for the next round to do 6 boulder "only" at some 20 attempts. After an unpalatable lunch at the nearby restaurant, we were looking forward to womens' finals. The girls had it tough but it went well: Nelly was the first, Petra Růřičková the second, Zuzka Ulrichová the third. I must commend the race schedule: Everything was smooth, the first guy started exactly on time (18:40). Reasonably nervous, I started as the 6th one, yet with the first problem, everything just fell off me. I sent the first thing at the 2nd attempt although I had to "break my back" to do it. Number 2 and 3 were power-based and number 4 was an interesting piece of a vertical thing. I was lucky to send all three boulders (OS), which earned me the great 2ND PLACE. I was really happy, the boulders felt just right. The next race is the next weekend at the place in the neighbourhood, so we'll see how it goes. Finally I want to thank the guys for an exciting race with a great turnout (40 people, 18 women), smooth schedule and tasty snack. What I miss is some sort of a t-shirt or a souvenir of the event such as a cup or a diploma, but that's just it.On Sunday, the guys (Šváchyč, Honza Jeliga) and me went to Radeč but the boulders were not very dry. Martin, of course, didn't mind at all so he showed us that the Saturday was just a slight setback. He was climbing the hardest boulders as if he hadn't taken part in the race at all - well, he has a huge spare stamina. Honza and I climbed up Kopanec 7C and spent two hours trying to do Kick Box 8A+. The conditions were unfortunately not favourable but at any case, I was really excited about Radeč and I do hope I'll manage to tick something off next time.
