Video Bike analysis–take 1

You know I have been playing with a video camera for the past few weeks.  Well, I set up my bike trainer in the garage and took the following video.  I have done a dozen + sprints, several Olympic, 2 70.3’s and a full ironman on this bike in this basic configuration.  Boy I look cramped.  Any criticism is welcome.

The software that I used to annotate the video is Kinovea – free and open source (which fits me great since I am a Linux administrator by day).

You should watch this in YouTube at high quality.  Sorry, it is a long video (3 minutes).

I though that I was much more of a fore foot striker.  Looking at the video I see that I am a mid foot striker.  There are also a few imbalances that I need to address.

Your comments are welcome.
