Thanks Tomas Rusek for amazing help!
Thanks to my great friend Tomas Rusek who crewed for me on Saturday. I had a wonderful 47km run finishing in the village of Rostin, all this fantistic support made it so easy!
On the way I enjoyed help from two young runners David and his brother Vitek and father another Tomas, so no doubting Tomas’s here!!
Then I was escorted by George on his bicycle anong with his 11 year old son Alex. We finished at the house of Jirina and Charles and their son also Charles.
This family made us so welcome and we even had a session in their ‘ theraputic salt cave’
Tomas told me he was working until 2am sorting contacts and places for me to stay with crew for the rest of my run through the Czech Rep. Yes this country is my favourite in Europe! Tomas will crew for me again today, Sunday, a short 31km day he estimates. This is his fourth and final day with me, I am so thankful for his great help. I am so lucky he was here during my stay as he travels the world as a tour guide organiser and is rarely in Brno for more than a couple of days between his trips. He is a walking and a cycling tour operator. He was one of the worlds leading ultra runners having run a personal best of 433km in 1995 for 48 hours and finished second to the legendary Yiannis Korous.
His travel website is www.rajbas.eu
Thanks so much to everyone
I will edit this entry and put pictures in later.

I was honored to ride with you on your route at least for two days. It was great to discover other places where I´ve never been and meet several kind people. Keep going forward, I know too that everything is possible if you want.
Take care, Martin.
