Small clip of me running barefoot

I thought at first you were overstriding but the ground contact does seem to come as your body moves over the top of the foot as it touches the ground. You looked pretty light on your feet as well.
I need to do a slow motion checkup to see how my form is going. I just love watching the Kenyans running during the marathon, that is the form to aim for.

Good upright posture. Medium arm swing, no cross-over. Head, neck, spine in good alignment. Shoulders square. Not even breathing hard when you were just standing there. :) If I had to nit-pick, I think I might have detected a heel strike on the right foot several times at the begining of the video. Otherwise, all mid-foot landings, no over-striding. Was this film by a news crew or one of your buddies?
Good clear shots, nice zooms, dramatic slo-mos, and best of all they used a tripod!! :) Maybe add some Vangelis background music. ;)
Overall score: 9.9.

Thanks for the input! I really think I do heel strike here and there, I see some race photos of me and looks like im totally heel striking. Funny thing is if I do, I never feel it! This was from an interview I did about a possible small documentary on barefoot running. I hope the finally product sees the light. And he did use a tripod.
