Czech Adventure Race 2009
Lost in the Rock Labyrinth on the Way to the Finish
21.08.2009
The first special task was horse-back riding. One member of the team always had to lead the horse while the other rode. It was a short ride, but with many racers who had never tried this, it was a challenge for some. There were some problems at night, when the horses started to be nervous, but everything finally ended well.
The teams then continued to a natural swimming pool Michal, where the "iceberg" awaited them. They first had to get down from to it by toboggan. There were four lanes, so the whole team could ride at once, then they had to get over trampolines in water and finally climb to the huge inflatable iceberg.
The next CP was on castle Vildstejn and teams had to locate several CPs in the castle. From there racers moved to Goethes rocks, named after the famous poet, and then they continued to the Marktredwitz, Germany.
The Ukrainans continued on their fast ride, and managed all of this in just 8 hours. It was supposed to be 100 km, but guys from AlpinePro claimed they rode 150 km. No one knows how the Ukrainians made it so fast.
From Markterdwitz, another trek followed, this time only 20 km. At this time, it was clear that the Ukrainians would win, and the Swedes pushed hard to secure second place.
