Going to try Harry's Laptimer app this year http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Home.html
Had downloaded it last year and found it doesn't work well in pocket. Went a little further and got an external Bluetooth GPS receiver in the off season (what was that thread about offseason buying?) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006M49G80/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 so I'm not tracking through the woods with Josh.
Also picked up a GoPro3 Black for Christmas from BestBuy for a steal (thanks babe!) and the Laptimer app will trigger the GoPro at start/finish through WiFi and then you can overlay video with the acquisition data later through a laptop. Did a few test runs in my truck around the neighborhood after setting up the 'track' through the application and it worked great. Data can be reviewed after session w/o video overlay pretty easily as well.
Mounted this Optrix case (which I modified to clip into GoPro mounts) on the tail for the phone to catch rearward facing video (need to find a good way to safety wire it too)

In theory this might be awesome....now, for reality I need to wait for first day out.
Between now and then I just might have to take the track bike for a spin around the neighborhood....after the snow/ice/slush is done of course.
