Headcam and GPS fun
Whilst procrastinating at work the last couple of weeks, I've been keeping track of an interesting discussion going on on attackpoint.
Pretty much, if you don't want to read through all the comments; someone asked if there was available tools to sync up your GPS tracking data with headcam footage. This resulted in ken (one of the guys behind attackpoint) scripting up a function for use on attackpoint (for donating members). You can find an example of it on newpatrick's log here
Some seriously cool stuff aye?! We've seen it done by Gueorgiou and a couple of the other top elites before, but now given you have the correct equipment, we could all do it. And it would be a pretty amazing tool for training and analysis of your techniques. Imagine being able to watch yourself make a parallel error, and seeing on the headcam exactly how you made it.
Unfortunately for me, I'm too poor to have a GPS watch, let alone a headcam. (although i'm seriously tempted). But certainly as a training group we could probably pull it together, and the benefits would be great, let alone the entertainment!
Anyway if you want more indepth info and better writing on this subject, Jan Kocbach has just written about it on o-training.net

That does sound impressive, unfortuananly one of the links dont work, but still im gonna google it through to find how i can do it. You can find a decent GPS watch at a good price, i bought the Garmin FR60 Fitness Watch for less than 100 bucks.
