Mastering failure when orienteering? Järfälladubbeln Long distance [Orienteering HEADCAM]

First orienteering race in months, so I was hungry. A little bit too starved, maybe, because there happened some things along the way...
Watch this "DIRECTORS CUT" with commentary along the way that explains the mind of a master of mixing successful orienteering with mistakes even on the more easy controls.

This is a 7 km long distance I ran on Saturday. It’s shortened and has got comments with my thoughts about it all, that might explain a little bit what happened. Please leave a comment if you have questions or just want to add your thoughts! /Daniej

Nice video because you mixed humor and technic

[@forestdetour]

Yes, sometimes it feels more like a comedy show than orienteering!

1:45 like they say, no job is so simple it cannot be done wrong. 😉 4:35 I wouldnt say classic parallel error...you were in an area with more short elevation gain vs that small marsh 150m to the NW...but depending on the vegetation growth for summer it could look a lot different 5:12 AND remembering that you paid to do it also...LOL

[@forestdetour]

Yes, every kind of mistake is possible when running a little bit too fast for your orienteering capabilities!
No it was more like a parallel mistake in my head, you know when you want so much to believe that you are on the right spot that you read the map just so it will fit to the terrain around you!
And yes, I paid both with actual money and with physical and emotional pain! 😅

@@forestdetour Yes, I have started to micro-orienteer a little more early on into a route choice. Oh...so kind of like most of our politicians? I finally got a video done, but need to figure out two things...quickroute doesnt let me trim the track if I forget to turn off my gps while I am at the finish gasping for air for 5 minutes...and I cant seem to get the trick of putting on screen comments in at the right time...all takes practice...you know if you learn to swear in a language no one understands...you wont have to resort to using punctuation marks for subtitles? Navaho, Swahili, Inuit, Gaelic, Hillbilly...!!!

How do you make the custom map footprint shapes? Thats a nice highlight in your videos.

[@forestdetour]

Thanks! I do them with some kind of “masking tool” in DaVinci, which requires some work but that way they don’t cover too much of the video.

[@johnrobertson7583]

@@forestdetour Yeah nice...MP orienteering uses davinci...but I am cheap and have only the free programs!!

[@forestdetour]

@@johnrobertson7583 I have the free version of DaVinci! You can do a lot with that too.

Kompassen! KOMPASSEN!

[@forestdetour]

@@oskarlin Kom…vadå?
Jag försökte detaljstudera kompassen och kartan under bommen till 2:an, och den är inte ju inte direkt bra passad, det är som att jag undermedvetet vill inte inse hur fel ute jag är och därför ignorerar kompassen!

[@oskarlin]

Det är kul att man ser att kartan inte är passad. Hög igenkänning

[@forestdetour]

@@oskarlinJa vad är det som får en att plötsligt sluta använda kompassen i vissa lägen där den verkligen behöver användas!?!
