I think there's a couple of strategies. 168 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 5: I think the guys that want to break the record, 169 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 5: they do really short bursts, high intensity, as fast as 170 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 5: they can and raditate quickly. As Whipa pointed out, though, 171 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 5: we'll end up probably with hypothermia if we try that 172 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 5: in and out too quickly. So we'll maybe do maybe 173 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 5: twenty minute stints Maddie, depending on how he's feeling. 174 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's not going to work with me. 175 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 4: Five minutes stints for Maddie. 176 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, we're just mixed it up, I find as well, Like, yeah, 177 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 9: throughout the day you change, you need to have periods 178 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 9: where you're out for a bit longer so you can 179 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 9: have something to eat. So we will just mix it up. 180 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 9: We're sort of more there to have a good time, 181 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 9: and depending on how we're going as compared to the 182 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 9: other boats, is how hard. 183 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 4: We'll push it at the end. So hopefully we're in 184 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 4: with a bit of a shot. 185 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 9: But yeah, I think we'll mix it up a little 186 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 9: bit and see how everyone's feeling. 187 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: When you're ready for a banana, you're out. 188 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. I've heard actually from people that have done it 189 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: that being on the support boat is actually not very 190 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: comfortable at all. 191 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: At Lisa, you're right your best in the water, you. 192 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, so you really do want to just get back 193 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 8: in the water. 194 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think so. 195 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think probably the hardest legs will be in 196 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 5: the boat. Just try and look at the horizon and 197 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 5: if it's choppy, if that subtherly is sort of predicted 198 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 5: to be as strong as it looked yesterday, I think 199 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 5: it has dropped off a little bit, so I think 200 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 5: the condition should be a lot better than they were. 201 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 4: Forecast five days ago. 202 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 5: But it did look like it was going to be 203 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 5: super rocky on that boat. 204 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 6: But hey, Chrin, just just for me, I don't know 205 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 6: what that means with the big swell, what amount of experience. 206 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 5: In I just I think a little bit of motion 207 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 5: sickness potentially unless you don't get in the water or 208 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 5: in the boat in the what you're fine.
