How have you considered this before the events that you've taken part in? Have you done any specific preparation in terms of the conditions that you're expecting to come up against?
52:36
So, kind of summarizing what you said and what I think is that self-supported doesn't mean self-sufficient in every possible way.
52:50
And in this sense, a rider should take responsibility for their preparation, which is like, in terms of events, like for sure knowing like the weather before the start and being aware how much the conditions can like change in like 12 hours, 24 hours.
53:12
And even like apps like Epic Weather Ride or Windy can help like during the ride to control it.
53:24
For me also like having a clothing system is one of the most important things, not just a jacket, because what is trending in ultra is going as light as possible, which I never found good, because how can you predict what weather is going to be like in two, three days, especially nowadays.
53:53
Like, you know, you go out in the morning for a walk and all of a sudden I need to come back because 12 degrees does not feel like 12 degrees they used to like last year because of the, because of the moisture, for example, of the air that changed.
54:11
So it's quite important and also like to see the change where like 12 degrees in a dry, cold day can be different than 12 degrees in a windy, cold, windy rain temperature.

How about you, Justine? Which of these measures that we've talked about, you've always mentioned that you're not a great fan of curfews, but there are other measures that you could, you think organizers should be taking or that you'd be more willing to accept?
