 Helper:Jana Vostrelova Jane was also our helper in 2006 and is a fantastic runner (and girl ;). Jane has an eye for every detail and you know the runners and lines are ready when she is in charge. Jane is also an excellent pilot herself and will beat most of us given the chance! Jane is also the third "half" of Samba models as the sister of Jaroslav and Vlastimil Vostrel. And offcourse the daughter of Jaroslav senior!
