Added benefit of Andy Hecker meet: video from the finish line

Andy Hecker’s annual Southern California Indoor Championships — Outdoors is a February staple of the SoCal masters calendar. Two weekends ago, Andy added a wrinkle: video of the finishes. See a sample below and the rest on his results page. Andy writes: “I set up a hi-def camera on the finish line, just recording the meet. It was kind of an experiment to see how much video I could get on the memory card. Because nobody really noticed the camera, during the distance races people kept standing in front of the camera, but I was able to put together youtube quality videos of the sprint races.” Cool, man. Great idea! (Andy has shot the Olympic Games, but these clips are automated.)
