That was the beauty of the Kenneth days, especially if you were staying at CLS - he was always very available and happy to listen to your comments about the race.
After the last year that I did with the old 4 lap run course I told him that I thought the run course was too congested with the increased entry size. He agreed and said that they were already looking into extending the lap out to Arrecife.
Is John Lunt (ex-Human Race and 2012 Olympic RD) still involved? I think in 2018 they’d just brought him on board as RD

Can’t find any reference online, should be in the 2022 Athletes Guide though (no longer on the IM site)
Yes, I’m bored.

Google says that he got a job with the PTO in 2020 as Operational Support Director
Good then if he’s not involved with IM Lanza, he’d have turned it into a 30,000 entrant Sportive by now……

Nobody is as cool as Kenneth - I mean, who else wears a bow tie to watch an Ironman?

This was day or two before Lanza 2019. I also remember him calling me out at La Santa at the race briefing the evening before the Volcano Triathlon in 2013 as I was the only one there with a beer. His words (over the mic) were “just one beer, OK?”

If we are going with the Kenneth memories here is one of mine from 2016. He did shake my hand after every finish and was always happy to stop and listen to the athletes. A real character for the race.
