ARF Cup Plzen!

I arrived to Plzen straight after Lipno at Sunday with Fidus, Iv and Richi. Waiting for Honzas arrival, thanks to their kindness i stayed at their place. In Monday I had two really long and hard sessions becouse most of time i was alone and paddling without brake but i've found the playspot really nice. I've been working on Tricky Moos to MoocNastys on both sides which was big challenge for me but it seemed to work from time to time!

At Tuesday Honza has arrived and as Lucie has passed her exam for Magister degree (Congratz again !) we were celebrating it. Around midnight we decided to look for party in city as Plzen is quite big, we expected to find something. Locals led us to "natural club" but unfortunetly there weren't any people so we just enjoyed spending time with ourselves.

Wednesday was really awesome day long session! Stepan and Vilda came from Prague to train, also already alot of Plzen people came for training. We were paddling whole day and spend like half of this time in the air! Was really awesome staying and cheering for friends throwing some sick and fun stuff! Honza and Stepan were flying in their ZET boats really high while i enjoyed making TrickyMoo to MoocNasty to both sides! Cow got pilot license for phoenix monkeys also! Unfortunetly at evening they had to leave but we didn't miss people for long time as most of them arrived at friday noon and just few hours later party has started! First day was great concert from Visaci zamek revival. Unfortunetly dancing in pogo i got really hard elbow knockout at my trapez muscle which brought me really bad arm injury..  At saturday paddling straight and making eskimo rolls were really painfull and all right moves were just impossible. Thought i've found making left ones pretty unharming which allowed me to finish at 3rd place after qualifications with Honza on second place, Stepan 7th - which was biggest suprise of qualifications as he was riding sick rides before, Bubak 8th and Ondra 9th and as most of time Peter Csonka was on the lead. We were happy as all pirates has proceed to semi.

Semi were same day in the afternoon. And there looked exactly as they should have had. Everybody were throwing loads of highscored, huge and perfect tricks making way to final really tight and hard. On the end from the 5th place came Honza, 4th was Tomo, i've defended my 3rd place, Stepan jumped to second as expected and Peter stayed still on the lead.

After awesome semifinals it was time for the party, which before we decided to jump to see the city for fast sightseeing, Plzen is really nice but quite small and we had party hunger so we were back really fast. We been partying to 4 in the morning dancing all the time and having hips of fun. But the party winners were definetly  Ondra and Milos which made great dancing shows for all night!

Great idea from organisators was the Kayak Cross in the morning which came before finals at 11, which let everybody to take some sleep and rest. That was pretty fun event proving that you can make it even in place without any extra boulders. 
After this it was time of finals - and as Honza, Stepan and Me were judging all day before, we had to do our job at sunday also. We just got switched at C1 category so we had time for preparing for K1M.

K1M was huge entertainment. I guess the biggest surprise was Tomo with his sick rides! He made dozens of tricks and some people event thought he could get Peter! I was not in shape with my arm yet which annoyed me a bit but still allowed me to throw some good score and i was really glad for making my combo. Great air rides had also Honza and Stepan throwing air paradise for viewers. Great thing for me was also all public making MOOO before my ride, was really fun to see everybody into it!That's good way to cheer the Cow ;).

Finally Peter won,Tomo came second and me 3rd. Honza took 4th place and Stepan 5th, but it was really great to paddle with all of you guys, thanks!

As Plzen was also last event of CNAWR cup we got the final scores. Deserved winner in K1M was Honza, with me on second place and Marcel at 3rd. 
After Plzen I'm proud to still be leader of Alpine Cup. Now few days in Prague and going to Poland for preparing for Polish championships and after that straight to Cunovo for last event of Alpine Cup!

Stay in Tune!~
