Seeking sponsorship for the print version of my O-book!

Hello, Dear Orienteers!

I'm currently working on the second part of the 'Confident Orienteering' practical guide - Book 2. I plan to release it by the end of 2024. The entire team that worked on Book 1 is still involved in the project, and I am immensely grateful to them for their ongoing support. Without their help, this project wouldn't have come this far.

The book was originally released in English less than 5 months ago, and people from 40 countries have already bought it. Additionally, it now has versions available in French and Ukrainian. Versions in Danish and Polish are expected very soon (within a few weeks). Currently, all of these versions are digital formats, except for the French version, which is also available in print thanks to translator Fabrice Laperque.

I'm inspired by the look of the printed version of the first book and plan to release a print version of the original guide as well. As a potential option, I'm looking for sponsors who might want to place their advertising on the pages of this guide.

Furthermore, you can watch a video showcasing the French version of Book 1. It features numerous pictures, excellent paper quality, and a convenient format.

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #13

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #13 Today we will take a close look at the route choice for leg 5-6 from the women's elite long-distance at the "Närkekvartetten" 3-day event in Sweden (May 11, 2024) The altitude gain on this leg will not have a significant effect on the route choice. The right-hand route doesn't look bad in the first half, with a fairly large section along the road. However, after the stream (point A), there is difficult navigation with challenging runnability. Therefore, we will abandon this route and choose between the 'direct' and 'left' routes. The straight and left routes are identical up to the midpoint (point B). Therefore, we have ample time on the course to make a decision. Additionally, the alternative of running to point B on the right side of the road (orange track) is not favourable as it involves a longer path compared to the straight route to point B, where there is a long path. Let's look at the differe...

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #9

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #9 Today, we will focus on a detailed analysis of leg 14-15 from the women's long course at 'Spring Spartacus' event in Hungary. I find the route choice for leg 14-15 to be simple and unambiguous. This perception is supported by the GPS tracks of the competitors. Interestingly, only one competitor from this class took the right-hand route out of all those who loaded their tracks on Livelox. We cannot definitively attribute this deviation to the athlete's error. For many runners, these competitions were part of the training camp for the European Championships 2024. The athlete may have had different objectives than simply completing the course quickly. It's possible that on this leg, she was practicing a challenging technical skill, such as running along a slope. However, based on this iformation, we can assess how effective the right-hand route was. The leg is 1060 metres long, crossing massive landforms. Therefore, one...
