This video is from Nationals 2008 in Squamish, BC. It is the mass start for the relay. If you listen closely you can hear the announcer say " And Scott Perras #4 is off to an early lead" you can also hear Jodi yell "That's my boyfriend" followed by laugher. Even though leading the start was not my intention sometimes things happen in the heat of the race.
This video is also very interesting. It is made using a program called Dartfish which is used for many sports but in Biathlon is commonly used to work on ski technique but interestingly enough it can also be used for shooting so that you can view positions between athletes as well where you are losing time.
Crazy is what this next video is, although I have never tried this ski I would certainly consider it for classic ski training in the summer it would be a welcome change from roller skiing the same loops day after day.
And this video is of one of our American counter parts using a Rollerski treadmill, we now have a roller ski tread mill in Canada. It can be a useful tool for testing physiological improvements.
And of course we need some Biathlon video's for laughs.
For this video I will have to translate, it is the mens Russian team from World Championships they were actually only a few doors down from our rooms and I am glad to see that they aren't any tidier. Basically what they are saying is "look at me how long do you think they will put me on TV with out my shirt on? Should be good a good move to build a larger female fan base"
If you have any other videos you have watched on you tube and would like to share with others, just e-mail me the link and I can post them for you.
Until next week, Happy Trails
