Thanks everyone for adding in to this topic. I also have not done much measuring unless I am submitting for certification. And I do as much work on the measurement whether I submit, or just measure, except for filling out the application. Since I do many Disney Race measurements, my maps take just a bit longer than a quick street map. All the kiosks are a challenge and the paths wind around. I know that for what I charge, I am not getting rich. As for encouraging others to measure, I am totally on board with that. I encourage others to look into it first and I tell them I am willing to help train people to follow protocol. But my eyes were opened wide last year when I had to stay off of a bike for longer than 6 months due to cancer. I was still working on course measurements from the logistic end and the paperwork end. People couldn't wait until I was out of physical therapy, because they didn't even want to do the biking part. You are right about it taking a special talent to do the work.
