Do I need to be self-sufficient?+

Largely yes. While the event is supported, you must be comfortable managing nutrition, pacing and mechanicals over very long days.

How should I prepare for the heat?+

Build in heat acclimatisation in the 2–3 weeks before the event and rehearse your hot-weather fuelling and hydration strategy.
