Outlaw will certainly be the Relay Champs, but it does look like Lakesman will have the highest number of solo entries. It's also a good course for supporting on the run with it having 5 laps.
I hope they have that gin wagon there next year so I can raise a celebratory glass to all the runners as they race past each lap
Purely from a supporters perspective, I'm not sure what Lakesman has to offer. One of the positives for me about an overseas IM is the opportunity to have 'a holiday' and there is a 'party atmosphere' for the best part of a week
Happy to hear from people in the know as to what there is for family/friends to do in the run up to and on race day at the Lakesman (especially if there is a plentiful supply of beer and burgers)
Also there was a big bouncy castle thing at Lakesman where you put a Velcro suit on and tried to see how high up it you stuck. Barlos would love that. And then we could leave him up there.
