Swimmer Pech lost her leg but still wants to overtake La Manche

Before it tries to overtake the sea between France and Britain in three years, it’s not just a hard workout but also a massive weight adjustment. “Our best long-haired swimmer Yvetta Hlaváčová has deliberately pounded fifteen pounds before going to La Manche, back and forth,” Pech said. “A pretty figure is in the cool sea waves.”

Pechová moved to Liberec this June from České Budějovice. North of Bohemia went to a friend. “I train five times a week, three to five kilometers a day,” says Pech. “I have been in Liberec for a few months, and I still have not found a swim for which I would compete.”

In Marketa, she went to high school.At the elementary school, metastases came back after the right foot had been removed. They appeared on the lungs, but Margaret had overcome them with the help of doctors and bone marrow transplantation. Then she graduated from the engineering industry and managed a higher law school. “In high school I first made athletics – a ball, a disk and a spear,” says Pech. “We won the javelin between handicapped European championships. Athletics did not enjoy me, and I preferred swimming. I prefer to crawl, but I also swim in other styles. “She first raced Markéta with physically disabled swimmers on 50, 100, 400 and 800 meters. “I swam in a hundred and twenty seconds under a hundred,” he says. “At the European Championship I ended three times in the top ten.At the age of fifty, I ran to fourth, to the fifth and to the fourteenth ninth. “Despite the excellent results, Peach’s races of disabled swimmers almost quit. “I do not care about the relationship between them,” he explains. While Pech is sometimes confronted with disabilities in the pool races, she now clearly fights for a five-kilometer track with healthy swimmers.

At the races in the Czech Republic I was the first, the second and the third, “says Marketa. “I spent the fastest hour in an hour and eleven minutes.”

Every one hundred Pecha can handle about a minute and twenty-five seconds.At home races they swim in open water – that is, rivers or dams.

“This June we raced in Prague in the Vltava River and the water was only fourteen degrees,” he says. “I chuckled so I could not almost climb to shore. In cold water, I race rather than warm. I have to swim faster to get the heaviest warmth. ”

With Markete moving from the south of the North to the north, Marketa has no bigger problems. “Liberec likes me, I’ve found a lot of girls and we go to beer every week,” Pech says. “I ride a lot on a bicycle, even though there are almost hills in the vicinity of Ceske Budejovice around Liberec.But my friend took me to Hradek nad Nisou to Kristýna, where we traveled nicely along the plain to the German lakes. ”

Markéta plays for the fifth year on the piano and this winter tried to ski in Pec pod Sněžkou. “Unfortunately, I fell and broke my hip on my amputated leg,” she adds. “I’m not supposed to be Pecha in vain.”
