Back, core and achilles 15:00 [3]
(rest day)
Much on today, good and bad. Funeral lunch. Music evening. No running. Probably wise.
Note
Thinking about next years ironman. One idea to ease the start logistics.
All courses orientshow style.
1 easy course with perhaps 3 variations.
1 medium course with 3 variations.
3 hard courses, each with 12 variations, about 2.5 k.
Common easy-moderate loop that circles spectator area, 500-700m.
Four classes.
Easy- 1 easy course + final common loop.
Moderate- easy + moderate + final common loop
Gentle hard- 1 hard course + 1 final common loop
Average hard - 2 hard courses + 1 final common loop
Hard hard (ironman) - 3 hard courses + 1 final common loop
Run the courses themselves as variations and have one mass start. That means for the hard hard perhaps 36 variations for a meta race of about 7.5k. Lower level classes similar, but obviously fewer variations.
Mass start for everyone in each class. Early finishing classes can watch others.
Ironman handicap award deduced later from handicaps. Perhaps preadvertise the handicap times.
Would require a clothes line arrangement like the old winter classic and blodslitet arrangements. SI timing. Sunday. Definitely pre-entry.
Thoughts anyone?
