Middle age+Middle distance=FULL RACE & analysis at ”ÖSA-träffen” 2024.

Returning to my favourite orienteering competition ÖSA-träffen after many years, I luckily brought my camera on the best performance of the three days. The race was not fast, but a good one compared to my usual standards. Watch the full race, with stream of consciousness-comments of my own orienteering all along in the subtitles for 42 minutes! That means no talking (except the word “no” in Swedish when realizing one mistake), so if you think this is too much action to watch, use it as ASMR or relaxing going-to-sleep sounds instead! Thank you for watching!
Disclmaimer: I am not a PRO, but I run in the forest anyway, do it on your own risk, it’s addictive, don’t watch while driving (you might fall asleep), don’t run if feeling sick or have pain, don’t run into a bear. And so on.
Is this NOT fast enough for you?!? Watch an elite runners journey at ÖSA-träffen instead:

Amazing coverage of the event, thank you for the subtitles! Amazing video cant waot for more!

[@forestdetour]

Thank you, that’s nice to hear!

[@jime2504]

Well done I enjoyed your commentary, 1.25x speed was perfect!

[@forestdetour]

Thank you, it was a viewer and club mate (Oskar) that came up with this idea increasing speed. I could increase the speed while editing, but in this video I liked to show my actual running speed.

Can't wait!

Thank you for your support!

It looks like you are using a chest/belly cam. I want to use the same placement, for the main reason that I need a good wicking running hat and a headmount wont work while wearing it...along with not having a video showing me twisting my head back and forth while I am running, while also allowing me to show the map in the viewscreen as you do. My biggest hurdle I believe will be trying to find the correct apps/programs to sync the video to the GPX track.

[@forestdetour]

I actually held the GoPro (hero 8) in my hand all the race, the stabilization is so good I didn’t have to think much about it. But I would recommend a chest mount/harness, I bought a cheap one from Amazon that works fine. I have problems with the gpx sync software so I take screen captures from Livelox website and edit it manually in DaVinci which is probably not the easiest way.

[@johnrobertson7583]

Thx. I know the 8 is still decent…and youre right…the stabil is pretty darn good for that model…Kiziev in norway uses one…but whats crazy is people here still want $200 for one when you can get a 10 or 11 for near the same price…i paid 200 for a 10 with 2 tripods and the media frame with microphone and flipup video screen and three batteries.

[@johnrobertson7583]

More good advice on bears...make sure you have a set of good running shows with you. You dont need to be faster than the bear...just faster than your friends. Do you think Control 7 was 10 or so meters off?

[@forestdetour]

I was saving energy all this race just in case I had to run away from the bear! I think the 7:th was right but the gps slightly offset?

[@johnrobertson7583]

@@forestdetour Yes that definitely happens in denser woods...maybe that patch of trees had an effect, it seemed you were underneath the shrubbery...also sampling rate of gps device...although it looked right on the rest of the time...

fasiken, chatten försvann för mig

[@forestdetour]

För mig med. Tror den slutar när live-visningen är klar.

[@oskarlin]

Premiären är precis när jag sätter mig på Wasalines i Umeå mot Jukola!

[@forestdetour]

Ok, det blev ju helt fel, premiären ska ju vara idag! Nu ändrad till 10:45. Du hinner förbereda popcornen osv.
