Jak jsem zazarila v akademickem mistrovstvi CR v prespolnim behu / How I fascinated at Czech academic cross-country championship
Po dlouhe dobe se mi na cele dopoledne podarilo zbavit se vsech povinnosti a vydala jsem se s kamaradkou na prespolni beh. Uz 55 let se kona v obore Hvezda tradicni beh 17. listopadu, letos jsem se stala jeho soucasti i ja :) A to docela podstatnou, jak se doctete dale.
Teplota byla na relativne prijemne nule, pozdeji asi i par stupinku nad nulou. Vitr prilis nefoukal, snezilo jen nepatrne. Zazemi zavodu bylo perfektni - oddelene satny, dokonce sprchy.
Zavod startoval v 10h, v pul desate jsme dorazily na registraci. Fronta nebyla prilis dlouha, ale na chvili cekani to bylo. Kdyz tu nas oslovily dve pani u stolecku s napisem "AM", jestli nechceme do akademicke kategorie. Nabidka znela lakave - zadna fronta, bezplatny start a stejna delka trati jako v kategorii zeny (4400m), k tomu hezke CVUTacke tricko. Tak jsme kyvly. Ukazalo se, ze jsme se zapsaly do akademickeho mistrovstvi CR v prespolnim behu a k nasemu jmenu byla pripsana skola, kterou reprezentujeme. To jsem zacala uvazovat, co me muze skola za ostudu, kterou pravdepodobne zpusobim svym casem, udelat - napadlo me akorat odebrani ubytovaciho stipendia, coz je vzhledem k jeho vysi nepodstatne :) Na druhou stranu, kazda reklama skole prece jen prospeje.
Dostala jsem cislo 19, coz me prekvapilo, ostatni meli cisla nad 100. Vypadala jsem tedy jako skutecna favoritka zavodu :)
Na startu jsem se postavila rovnou do zadu a ukazalo se to jako spravny krok. Uz 100m za startem jsem byla se slusnym naskokem posledni. Na prvni krizovatce me navigujici poradatel povzbuzoval, tak jsem ho ujisitla, ze budu rada, kdyz dobehnu (uz tou dobou jsem mela tep mezi 188 a 195 a cely prubeh zavodu neklesl, ale citila jsem se v pohode).
Po kilometru uz jsem nevidela nikoho pred sebou, ani nikoho za sebou. Ale bylo krasne a tak jsem si to uzivala. Navic uz jen kilometr a budu mit jedno kolecko za sebou. Bezela se totiz dve stejna kolecka po 2200m. V nasledujicim kilometru jsem stihla dvakrat trosku zabloudit, ale jinak se mi bezelo hezky.
Byla asi 14. minuta zavodu a ja se blizila ke konci prvniho kolecka, uz jsem videla cil. Vzpomnela jsem si, ze lonska vitezka dobehla v case kolem 15 minut. Hmmm, to asi budu vypadat jako vitezka, napadlo me. A nemylila jsem se - jak jsem se blizila ke konci kolecka, zacali se v cili srocovat lide a dokonce me nataceli. No jo, mela jsem nizke cislo, vypadalo to, ze treba prekonam lonsky cas o par vterin. Presto vypadali vsichni mirne nejiste - na vitezku jsem si to sinula dost pomalu. Kdyz jsem probihala cilem, sdelila jsem kameramanovi, ze nejsem prvni, ale posledni, at si jeste pocka. Tak vypnuli kameru, upustili od zapsani vysledku viteze a povzbudili me k druhemu kolecku :)
Na prvnim rozcesti stale jeste stal ten pan, co me pred ctvrt hodinou tak povzbuzoval a povidal: "Vidim, ze si stale drzite svou pozici! Jen tak dal, nenechte se vyvest z miry, uzijte si to!".
Zbytek trate jsem dobehla jiz temer bez komplikaci (kdyz nepocitam dvoje smrkani, jedno zavazovani tkanicky a jedno zakopnuti). V cili jsme dostala presladky caj a cely balik susenek. Vsichni byli moc mili a ochotni.
S celkovym casem cca 30 minut jsem celkem spokojena - jsem rada, ze jsou to dobehla :) Asi me budou vecer trochu bolet nohy, ale citim se jako znovuzrozena. Tu pulhodinu jsem v podstate celou prosmala :)

After many weeks, I had a free Saturday morning with no obligations. I went to the cross-country race with my best friend Johari. This race is held annually for 55 years at Hvezda park on 17th November and this year I took part in it and it was quite serious role - as you will read in a moment.
The temperature was getting quite comfortably about zero, later it was about five degrees. No strong wind, snowing only gently. Organization was great, there were separated cloak-rooms with showers also.
The race started at ten o'clock, we arrived to registration at half past nine. There was no long queue, just a few people, we thought that we would stand there for just some few minutes. We were standing there when a couple of women told us that we could register as academicians. It seemed to be a good offer - no queue, free registration, the same length of race (4400m) and as a bonus we got a T-shirt with CVUT logo for free. (CVUT is another Czech university). So we accepted this offer happily. Later it showed oneself that we had registered to
Czech academic cross-country championship and to our name there had been added the name of university we represented. I started to wonder about what could my university do to me to penalize me for the shame that I would make for sure. The only thing I thought out was to refuse my accommodation scholarship and this was not important for me in the light of it's highness. On the other hand, every propaganda is good for my school's popularity.
They assigned starting number 19 to me. It surprised me because others had numbers bigger than a hundred. I looked like a total leader of the race :)
I stand back at the start and this was a really good idea. We were one hundred meters over the start and I was already the last runner. The organizer encouraged me at the first crossroad and I made him sure that my target is to come to the finish not to win (at this moment I already had my heard frequency between 188 and 195 - and it didn't decreased during the race, however I felt fine).
After the kilometer I couldn't see anyone behind me nor ahead. Anyway, it was a beautiful day so I enjoyed the run. Moreover there was just one kilometer to finish the first lap. We run two similar laps 2200m long. During the next kilometer I got lost a bit for two times in spite of the fact it was nice.
There was the 14th minute of a race coming and I was approaching the finish line of the first lap. I remembered that last year the winner had the time about 15 minutes. Mmmm, then I would look like a winner I thought. And I wasn't wrong. When I was getting closer
to the finish, there were a bigger crowd of people and there was a television filming me. Oh yeah, I had a very low number and it seemed that I would improve the time from the last year. However all of them looked a bit confused - I was running very slowly for the winner. When I run around a camera-man I told him to wait that I was not the first one, but the last one. So they stop filming, stop from writing down my time and encouraged me to the last lap :)
There still was the same organizer at the crossroad and he was encouraging me: "I can see that you are holding your position! Great! Keep it up, enjoy it!"
The rest of lap I run almost without complications (if I don't bear in mind that I had to blow my nose for two times, tie the laces for one time and tripped out for one time). At the finish I got a very very sweet tea and a package of sweets. All people there were very nice.
I'm quite satisfied with my time that was about 30 minutes. I'm happy that I finished it. Maybe I will feel my tired legs in the evening however I feel like born again now. I was laughing during almost whole race :)

Night Grand Prix
Pul roku jsem se tesila, 6 tydnu jsem se snazila trenovat. Ale protoze se mi nestacila zahojit dira po zubu moudrosti, nakonec jsem zustala mezi fanousky, Katka (moje nej kamaradka) musela bezet sama. Ale bylo to super :)
Vcera vecer se na Starem Meste konala nocni Grand Prix - beh pro zeny na pet kilometru, muzi si zabehli kilometru hned deset. Start zenskeho behu byl naplanovany na osmou hodinu vecerni, muzi startovali az o hodinu pozdeji.
Jak se blizil cas startu zen, zacal se startovni koridor zaplnovat a stejne tak se zacaly kupit davy lidi podel startu a zacatku trasy. Me snahy o foceni byly docela marne, nedokazala jsem se probit na misto, kde by bylo videt zavodnice po startu. Jedine takove misto bylo hned kousek za startem, ale tam stal umelec plivajici ohen na vsechny strany.
Mista tesne u zavodniho koridoru se uvolnila, az kdyz zavodnice odstartovaly a zmizely v ulickach Stareho Mesta. Za par minut znovu probihaly Staromestskym namestim, mista kolem trati se opet velmi rychle zaplnila divaky. Byla jsem ale hodne zklamana, ze se publikum tak zdrahalo bezkyne povzbuzovat. Komentatori divaky nekolikrat vyzyvali k potlesku a povzbuzovani, presto vetsina lidi zustala stat nehybne se znudenym vyrazem. Zrejme netusili, jak je pro bezce povzbuzovani dulezite.
Sotva probehly timto usekem, nastal cas, abych se presunula k cili, protoze zbyvalo jen nekolik malo minut, nez se ukaze, ktera z ucastnic zvitezi. Jako prvni dobehla dle ocekavani Kenanka Irene Kwambai. Komentatori s napetim ocekavali, kdy dorazi do cile i nektera z ceskych zavodnic a ja cekala, kdy spatrim do cilove rovinky pribihat Katku.
Asi minutu po Kenance pribehla i Petra Kaminkova - ze vcerejsich zen nejrychlejsi Ceska. Do cile pak v pomerne dlouhych intervalech dobihaly dalsi zavodice. Organizatori hned pozvali Petru na komentatorske stanoviste a ta jim jeste udychana poskytla rozhovor. Stezovala si na spatne osvetleni - casto svitilo svetlo do oci, po ceste si trikrat vyvrkla kotnik. Zaverem pravila, ze se neda nic delat a ze se musi smirit s tim, ze dnesni zavod byl pro divaky. Coz me prislo jako ponekud nestastne, protoze jsem toho nazoru, ze takove zavody by mely byt pro divaky predevsim, ze to se rozumi samo sebou (nejen proto, ze bez divaku by nebyli sponzori a bez sponzoru by nebyl zavod). Docela me zamrzelo, ze nerekla nic pozitivniho - rada bych totiz, aby se zavod konal za rok zase a abych se mohla konecne zucastnit. Jak znelo heslo teto Grand Prix - "Nektere veci jsou proste lepsi v noci."
Blizi se teprve 23. minuta od startu a ja uz vidim, jak se k cili blizi Katka! Cekala jsem, ze dobehne hodne dobre, ale takhle brzo, to me hodne prekvapilo. Nadsene jsem se snazila prichystat si fotak, abych ji udelala cilovou fotku, ale nejak jsem to nezvladla a tak je fotka ponekud tmava :) (to je ta cerna fotografie s bilymi pruhy)
Za chvili jsme se sesly na domluvenem miste, trikrat se prodiraly davy na namesti sem a tam, nez jsme nasly, kam se vraci cipy. Organizatori byli sice vzdycky mili a ochotni, ale moc toho nevedeli. Na dotaz, kam se vraci cipy, jednou dokonce odpovedeli "Vy mate naky cipy?:-o".
Nez jsme se nadaly, byl odstartovan zavod muzu. Jeste jsme ukoristily par balonku a chvili se toulaly ulickami okolo namesti. Dosli jsme do Parizske ulice, ktera byla posledni ulici pred cilem. V cili bylo hodne lidi, ale v tehle ulici nebyla ani noha, nikdo, kdo by bezce povzbudil. Nemusely jsme dlouho cekat a uz se k nam blizili prvni bezci (prvnich nekolik bylo tradicne z Keni). A tak se stalo, ze jsme nasledujicich 45 minut stravily v teto ztichle ulici tleskanim, piskanim a kricenim "Joooo" a "Peknyyy", "Dobreee", "Jedem, jedem!", "Uz jen kousek", "Do tohooo", "Super" a ke konci "Nevzdavej to, uz jen par metru!" a "Je to taaam!". Asi jsme vypadaly docela blaznive, ale pravda je, ze mnoho bezcu skutecne zrychlilo a ti, co uz jen sli, tak zacali bezet. Energii jsme dodaly, myslim, vetsine z nich. Jeste ted me pali z toho tleskani dlane :)
Je to vazne hezky pocit, videt, jak se lide prekonavaji, jak jim prostym krikem dodavate silu. Mezi zavodniky bylo mnoho deti, duchodcu a dokonce i jeden odvazlivec s berlemi. A bylo videt, zvlaste na tech zavodnicich, kteri nemeli uplne nejlepsi casy, ze si to krasne uzili a ze maji radost, ze to zvladli. A tak to ma byt :)
Byl to super vecer - setkani s lidmi, kteri se rozhodli, ze se prekonaji, kteri v dnesni line dobe nerezignovali a dokazi si uzit radost z behu. "Joooo, jste dobryyyy!"

I was looking forward to it for more then six months. I endeavoured to train for six weeks. But my wisdom tooth hole hadn't enough time to skin over so I had to be a fan only. Kate (me dearest friend) had to run without me. However it was great :)
There was the Night Grand Prix at Prague Old Town yesterday evening - women's running race for five kilometres and men had run ten kilometres. Start of the women's race was planned to eight p.m. and men started one hour later.
When the start time of women's run was drawing nearer, the lane for runners started to fill by competitresses and alongside it were many fans and attendants. I tried to take some pictures however it was vain effort - there was no space along the lane that would allow me to see runners after the start. The only free place near the lane was occupied by some artist who was breathing fire all around him.
There was some free space near the lane at last after runners had started and disappeared at streets of the Old Town. They run throught the square again in the opposite direction in few minutes. There re-appear the crowd of attendants along the corridor. But I was quite disappointed that the audience was so hesitating to making noise to encourage runners. Narrators appealed the audience to clap hands many times however they still stood with out a move and having bored faces. They evidently had no idea how important is chucking-up for the runner.
After they had run throught this part of their path the time occuredfor me to move near the finish. It remained just few minutes till we would know which one would be the winner. The first competitress was as expecting from Kenya - Irene Kwambai. Narrators were looking forward for the first runner from Czech and I was waiting for the moment when I would see my friend Kate running to the back straigth.
The first Czech runner Petra Kaminkova came about one minute after Irene. There were other runners coming in at quite long intervals. Petra was asked to give an interview just after she had came in. She was complaining about bad lighting - it dazzleded her many times so she had her ankle sprained three times. She ended her interview by telling us that it was no go and she had to acquiesce that this race had been for audience. I think that this was quite poor - according to my opinion all races are for audience at first (not only because with no audience there would be no sponsors and with no sponsors there would be no race). I was sorry that she said nothing positive - I would like organizers to arrange Night Prix next year again to allow me to take part in the run. According to the motto of this Grand Prix - "Some things are just more fun in the dark."
The 23th minute was drawing nearer when I saw Kate approaching to he finish! I had expected that she would be great but she was so fast. That really surprised me. I tried to make my camera ready enthusiastically to take her picture at the finish. However I didn't make it well and the picture is quite dark :) (it is the black photo with white stripes on the left side of the screen)
We met after a while. Then we had struggled three times throught the square before we found where she should give back the chip. Organizers were indeed nice but they didn't know much information. If we asked them to tell us where chips should be given back they answered: "Oh, do you have any chips? :-o"
Time was running fast. It was nine p.m. and the race for men was started. We captured some balloons and we were roaming at streets around the square. We reached Parizska street (Paris Avenue) - the last street of the race that goes straight to finish. There were many people at the finish while nobody was at this st
reet. Nobody who would encouarge tired runners. We hadn't to wait for a long time and first racers were coming (first few of them were traditionally from Kenya). So it happend that next 45 minutes we spent at this silent street by clapping hands, whistling and shouting "Yup!" and "Nice!", "Good", "Go go go!", "Just a few meters remains", "Hit it!", "Super" and at the end "Do not give it up! Last few metres!" and "You will make it!". Maybe we looked crazy but the truth is that many runners speeded up and those who were walking started to run. We energized most of them I think. Even now my hands are burnign :)
It is really so nice feeling if you see how people overcome themselves, how you energize them by a simple shouting. There were many children and pensioners among the runners. Even there was one using crutches. You could see especially when looking to runners who weren't at the first places that thay really enjoyed the run and thay were happy that thay had made it. And that's how it should be :)
It was a real nice evening - meeting people who decided that thay will overcome themselves. At our lazy times they haven't demitted and they can enjoy a happines from runnnig. "Jup, you are so great!"

I tried to take some pictures however it was vain effort - there was no space along the lane that would allow me to see runners after the start. The only free place near the lane was occupied by some artist who was breathing fire all around him.
There was some free space near the lane at last after runners had started and disappeared at streets of the Old Town. They run throught the square again in the opposite direction in few minutes. There re-appear the crowd of attendants along the corridor. But I was quite disappointed that the audience was so hesitating to making noise to encourage runners. Narrators appealed the audience to clap hands many times however they still stood with out a move and having bored faces. They evidently had no idea how important is chucking-up for the runner.
After they had run throught this part of their path the time occuredfor me to move near the finish. It remained just few minutes till we would know which one would be the winner. The first competitress was as expecting from Kenya - Irene Kwambai. Narrators were looking forward for the first runner from Czech and I was waiting for the moment when I would see my friend Kate running to the back straigth.
The first Czech runner Petra Kaminkova came about one minute after Irene. There were other runners coming in at quite long intervals. Petra was asked to give an interview just after she had came in. She was complaining about bad lighting - it dazzleded her many times so she had her ankle sprained three times. She ended her interview by telling us that it was no go and she had to acquiesce that this race had been for audience. I think that this was quite poor - according to my opinion all races are for audience at first (not only because with no audience there would be no sponsors and with no sponsors there would be no race). I was sorry that she said nothing positive - I would like organizers to arrange Night Prix next year again to allow me to take part in the run. According to the motto of this Grand Prix - "Some things are just more fun in the dark."
The 23th minute was drawing nearer when I saw Kate approaching to he finish! I had expected that she would be great but she was so fast. That really surprised me. I tried to make my camera ready enthusiastically to take her picture at the finish. However I didn't make it well and the picture is quite dark :) (it is the black photo with white stripes on the left side of the screen)
We met after a while. Then we had struggled three times throught the square before we found where she should give back the chip. Organizers were indeed nice but they didn't know much information. If we asked them to tell us where chips should be given back they answered: "Oh, do you have any chips? :-o"
Time was running fast. It was nine p.m. and the race for men was started. We captured some balloons and we were roaming at streets around the square. We reached Parizska street (Paris Avenue) - the last street of the race that goes straight to finish. There were many people at the finish while nobody was at this st
reet. Nobody who would encouarge tired runners. We hadn't to wait for a long time and first racers were coming (first few of them were traditionally from Kenya). So it happend that next 45 minutes we spent at this silent street by clapping hands, whistling and shouting "Yup!" and "Nice!", "Good", "Go go go!", "Just a few meters remains", "Hit it!", "Super" and at the end "Do not give it up! Last few metres!" and "You will make it!". Maybe we looked crazy but the truth is that many runners speeded up and those who were walking started to run. We energized most of them I think. Even now my hands are burnign :)It is really so nice feeling if you see how people overcome themselves, how you energize them by a simple shouting. There were many children and pensioners among the runners. Even there was one using crutches. You could see especially when looking to runners who weren't at the first places that thay really enjoyed the run and thay were happy that thay had made it. And that's how it should be :)
It was a real nice evening - meeting people who decided that thay will overcome themselves. At our lazy times they haven't demitted and they can enjoy a happines from runnnig. "Jup, you are so great!"

Zmena bezeckeho rezimu
V sobotu jsem se zucastnila osmikilometroveho nesoutezniho behu, ktery jsem sice ubehla bez zastavek a citila jsem se docela v pohode, ovsem muj tep tomu prilis neodpovidal - z kopecku jsem mela cca 180 a do kopce 190, obcas i 194 a to uz na me kricel puslmetr, ze bych mela zvolnit. A to jsem to bezela asi 55 minut.
Takze mam dve moznosti - bud zacnu poradne trenovat, nebo se na tyhle vetsi behy vykaslu. To druhe se mi ale vubec nechce a tak jsem se rozhodla, ze zkusim nejaky "opravdovy" trenink. Nasla jsem si osmitydenni program pro trenink na 5 km. Petikilometrovy beh (Adidas beh pro zeny) planuju az na zari, ale cca za 8 tydnu mam jinou akci, kde predpokladam, ze se ode me bude rano ocekavat svizny beh. A tak by se mi to mohlo hodit, nechci kazde rano behat na tak strasnych tepech.
