Throught the past number of years in practice I've had the opportunity to do form analysis on a wide variety of athletes: runners, golfers, cyclists, etc.
I am very close to being able to offer video analysis of these activities. I'm working a few bugs out of the process as we speak but should be up and running soon.
I'll post examples of this analysis here once we're ready to go.

Seeing the want in need...
Last year at ironman, my finish although one of the most unforgettably important moments of self discovery was also tagged by feelings of regret that I bonked in the marathon, spent 18 miles in nauseated delerium...only to recover and negative split the last 4 miles.
Truth: I am extremely proud and different as a person for having pushed myself through not only the distance involved, but more importantly, the pain of my body shutting down 4 miles into the marathon.
Truth: I signed on this year to redeem myself and crack 11 hours.
It's funny, in January of '06, I could barely swim. In August of '06, had never ridden more than 110kms, had never run more than 24kms. Fast forward 8 months and there I was....racing "debatebly" the single toughest one day event in the world.
Now this year, with my daughter Cadence being born...I look at my reasons for sigining on for another kick at the cat with clouded vision. It's hard to find and even harder to justify the time involved in training, balancing a career, a family.
Do I go to the start line with what I have in my heart and try to finish with respect "have 3 good events", but potentially disappointed again with what could have been??? Or do I pull the plug and spend the year enjoying the new addition to the family...and possibly be disappointed I didn't try....
