I kinda do too. Or, I miss the feeling that I got when I realized the reaction we got to the magazine was positive. I do not miss putting in 30-40 hours of work before every event (way more than that before the announcement and first event). The way we were able to change the rules to accommodate over 400 entries, and how we were able to re-program our apps to allow multi-platform and html-output on results were very gratifying.
But ye. I guess I put in somewhere between 260 and 320 hours between December and April. Then add in the hours Michael spent on making the apps for results, multi-platform, entry list and two different outputs, one for webpage and one for magazine. Also add in Jack's hours of making all the graphics for the season, from the number-plates, to round&post headers, and not at least he designed, and put all the magazines together, making my articles look good!
In Norway, if you have a 100% job, you work 162.5 hours a month. So on average I added a 50% job by doing RDRC, and I think that the three of us together went way over a full-time job in workhours combined.
Of course, some of the "problem" with this, and I know this also goes for
@Daiman Patel , but I don't want to do anything again, if I know it's not going to be just as good - if not better than the last time.
There might be some additional hurdles that I can't share as well, but what I mentioned here is the main obstacle. While it's really fun when it comes together, I might've underestimated the workload last time out.
EDIT: I've actually never added the hours before. I've always thought 30-40 hours on average for each event. When I add it, it's no wonder why it felt like a lot when the season was finished!
