Thursday and Friday – business travel to Toulouse. I did hotel room workouts. Nothing to report.
While I was in France, a great thing happened on our lake. Two local business decided to join forces and prepare a skating oval on the lake. Here is the video:
AKTUÁLNĚ 20.1.: NOVÝ 2KM OKRUH PRO BRUSLAŘE NA PRÝGLU 👍
⛸ Bruslaři na přehradě využívají asi 2 km dlouhý okruh přibližně oválného tvaru, který v těchto dnech pomocí fréz a kartáčů budují pracovníci firmy AVE CZ (techniku zdarma zapůjčuje Garden studio). Okruh začíná přibližně před hrází a táhne se směrem k Sokoláku. Přístup je možný buď z bystrckého přístaviště nebo z Kozí horky.
🎿 Dobré podmínky nadále panují i pro běžkaře. Sníh je přemrzlý a velmi rychlý. Některé stopy jsou ledové, některé ale velmi kvalitní. Výborně si zaběžkujete i na golfovém hřišti Kaskáda (viz minulé video) a na medláneckém letišti.
ℹ️️ Podle dnešního měření má led u přístaviště tloušťku již 29 cm (přičemž za “přijatelně bezpečnou” se považuje již 12 cm). Stále však platí výstraha na nebezpečný led se vzduchovými kapsami v oblasti Sokoláku, Osady, Rokle a dále směrem k Bítýšce a městská policie sem radí nevstupovat. Stejně jako příliš daleko od břehu i v široké části přehrady. Včerejší utonutí bruslaře na Vranovské přehradě je jistě silnou výstrahou ostatním před nerespektováním těchto doporučení.

Díky za vlastní zkušenosti v komentářích.

A “2km” (actually more like 1700m) “oval” on my own rowing lake! Heaven! So I packed my skates and headed to the lake.
I forgot the Garmin Forerunner in my travel bag, so I had to record the workout using Strava on the phone. Unfortunately, my iPhone hates cold weather. It goes from 80% to 20% in 15 minutes, and then says “bye bye”. When I plug it in to charge afterwards, it wakes up with a 60% full battery. This makes the phone totally unusable for winter sports.
Anyway, here are the first 20 minutes on Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/839084453
It turns out that someone has defined the skating loop as a “segment” on Strava and I turn out to be the Course Record holder from that first warming up round. I did a few of the subsequent rounds faster, but who cares. A course record is a course record! 😀
The skating itself was quite slow. There were lots of people on the ice, enjoying the nice weather. Here is a video from last week:
Zimní sezóna na Prýglu
❄️ PRÝGL ZAŽÍVÁ PARÁDNÍ ZIMU! ❤️
Využijte zamrzlé přehrady a výborných sněhových sněhových podmínek k zimním radovánkám.

The ice was also pretty bad. Lots of cracks and a few places with very rough, uneven ice, basically you couldn’t skate there. So I sped up whenever there was some empty space in front of me, but I had to put on the breaks quite a lot.
In the second hour, I met many friends, so it was more standing and chatting than skating. At some point I got cold, so I headed back to the rowing club.
I think it was a good Steady State effort.
By the way, the cover picture is from another year. This year, there is much more snow, as you can see from the videos.
