Only thing that bothers me about this video, is that if you were just a bit lower... that road was right there, and the powerlines... eek. Great job finding a spot though!
The wind changed direction near the ground (more headwind up to 60km/h) plus the gear was lowered too early. As a result landed 200m too short of the airfield. Since finish ring has been used during the competition no harm done to the result. Except i had to tweek glider a little bit after the competition.
Man I feel sorry for you :) I'm wondering why your PDA didn't show you were too low...but at least you landed on a nice field...my last bad final glide ended up in a barley field and I still can't believe I didn't damage my glider that day...
I'd recommend you to try software called LK8000, it's free and so far it works just fine for me...
@keegan773 I know right! Actually two. After he raised his canopy another comes over. I have that same feeling when my buddies and I are hang gliding, and I end up on the ground looking up at them.

How far away from the airfield you made the landing?

Probably would of made it if you had kept the wheel up longer and kept the yawing action to a minimum

He must have felt real bad when the other glider overflew him.
