More pain

Because it was "OK for four weeks" and now it's a "7 out of 10" this isn't something you want to wait around on, IMO.  How long is the wait for the cardio?  Is the area red?  Hot? Any signs of infection?  If so, get to the ER, now. Sudden severe pain isn't goodness.

not normal

That is not at all normal. Do you have fever, new redness, streaks, oozing, any other signs of infection? If there's the smallest chance it's infected, push for cultures immediately.

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didn’t slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
