Back into running. Lasted over an hour without calf or hamstring pain. This has to be a good sign. But do I run tomorrow?

Have re-conceptualised the Ironman handicap problem. I think I know how to solve it more elegantly now.

Sorting out Ironman results

The Ironman. Lots of work, but not as much as the Orientshow.
Seemed to go well. But problems are plain.
Gone are the days of having the whole club run in the event. The pressure to cater for novices and the newer members means normal courses are offered. Lots of work, and few turn up anyway. Maybe next year I run it on a Sunday without VOA or AV events, publicise it more widely and forget the local series aspect. The locals don't seem all that interested other than a core of regulars. There might habe only been about 18 running in the event in part or full, but its enough to have a good time.

Sorting out maps, putting out controls, printing and preparation etc.

Guess of time and distance. Garmin died mid run. It seems to go flat even if you haven't been using it much. Ran round the golf course at lunch time. This was better than eating lunch as the post prandial torpor was absent this afternoon.

Lots of event preparation. Handicaps are a pain and a puzzle.

Six laps of Neangar, with increased pace from 1 through to 5. Discovered the nomadic sore muscle syndrome. On the weekend it was the right hammie. Very painful even to touch. Then on Monday it migrated to the left hammie. Tonight after the run it was both calves instead, and there was no sore spot on either hammie.
