Jukola 2024 3rd leg

Video from the 3rd leg of Lakia Jukola 2024. Used the chest strap instead of head. the race went well despite problems with the contact lens (had to use a contact lens with only +1.00 instead of +1.25. Some smaller mistakes at some controls, check out and you will see!

Cool video! I liked that you edit those split times into video. I ran same 3rd leg as u. Couple different route choises though👍

And btw, most of us use a small handheld flashlight with multiple settings to view map on low, and focus higher spot for control locations.

Nobody uses handheld lights here, only on head strap.😊

Wow! a 13km single leg? Interesting note about contact lens. Are you saying that use magnifying lens vs a prescription? I wear corrective ones, but I wonder if I can get my optometrist to give me one or both a single power higher for orienteering? I have mine set up for distance so I can see my drones farther away. I have struggled for awhile seeing the map, and had never thought about it.

I use a +1.25 corrective lens in my left eye for reading the map. Quite common here to do so among orienteerers😅

Thanks Petter, My eldest boy ran leg 2 for SHOC from Australia good to see what it was like on the track.

[@petter444petter]

Thanks. Nice that he came all the way over here to participate! Seems that he run rather ok, hope he was satisfied with his race. Would love to come to Australia for some orienteering one day👍

@@petter444petter Luckily He is in Sweden for a gap year so wasnt to far for him and he could hitch a ride with the Orion club Who he has been running with. He was very happy up to about 10km then made about 10mins of poor route selection, But rates this as one of is best experiences so far. EYOC next week and then O ringen still to come. It will be a busy summer. Already planning 2025 so you might see a few more Aussies next year. reach out if you do come to Australia it is a small but friendly Orienteering community.

@@petter444petter Luckily he only came from Sweden where he is having a gap year . He hitched a ride with the Orion club who he has also been running with so he probably had the easiest trip in the team. Goes to Poland today for EYOC as a development runner in a strong team then back for swedish league and O Ringen. We are already trying to line up another team(s) for next year.
