She fell
That's it. She's down. At 4:30 a.m., Martin Lazar arrived at the finish line, thus concluding this year's, officially the second year of the Montane Jibe Jaha. We tip our hats to Martin and marvel at his steady, machine-like pace. At the same time, his calm and sovereign approach to the matter deserves admiration as well. He just figured it out as he went along...
600 km covered
Uffff, that was a mess. Eight days, five hours and 13 minutes. Tomáš Kadlec was the first in the three-year history of the race to finish on the royal 600 km route. An incredible performance and huge congratulations!! We are extremely happy that Tomáš made it to the finish line and we have to admit that we would not have been able to...
We are approaching the finals
You may be wondering why we don't publish text messages and photos from competitors anymore. The answer is simple. Martin's phone hasn't been working since Kraliki and Tomas lost it yesterday somewhere in the bush. So we have no connection with them and they have no connection with us. According to the rules, this should be a reason not to continue the race, because a charged and working phone...
Day six and seven
There were fewer competitors, but due to logistical problems and a missing signal it was not possible to write a report yesterday. So we are making amends here and recapping the last two days under the magnifying glass. These were in the form of challenging completions of the 300km route and even more challenging continuations on the 600km route. So let's start with the weather, which this year has played a very significant destabilising line of morale and will....

Tuesday 6.2. 0:14 Matěj Jakoubek - Těbůch, Venco! Looks like a disqualification. The fourth mandatory 4 minutes after midnight. But considering my mood it's still quite early 🙂 02:13 Tomas Kadlec - I've moved here I'm going to sleep (Tomas's first text message for the whole race 🙂 11:30 Matěj Jakoubek - Orlický I went on foot. Let's see...
A look back at the fifth day
We report from the finish and checkpoint at 300 km in Jeseníky from Petříkov. The signal is very sporadic here and so we chase it around and thanks to that we can't offer interesting moving pictures (e.g. Martin Gaba's famous ski finish). The night on the ridges of both the Eagle and Jeseníky mountains was quite strict. True, but...
from competitors #5
14:18 Martin Gabla - The Orlické Mountains were pretty tough... 15:15 Martin Gabla . i don't race, I survive 17:05 Matěj Jakoubek - Hey!? And how do you drink beer from a can when you have a loom behind your head and you don't want to throw your back out with every sip? 17:07 Aunt Vera - Systematically...
what Day Four brought
A large pack of stop-and-go crawlers dropped out of our monitor dot tracking, but even so, there is no shortage of unnecessary page refreshes at unnecessarily short intervals. The morning started with Luboš Kocourek's departure to the east. Again it was raining solidly and so there was nothing to envy. Luboš was suffering from some bug and so when I saw on my phone that he was calling me, I was...
from competitors #4

I wish everyone on the route a lot of...
