He explains how important planning is – understanding where you are going and what is available there, but equally how to rely on your medical “team” and contacts back home should the need arise. Anti-doping is introduced. He explains how we have so much information at our fingertips but need to know where to look. We have technology available – but need to know how to use it. Enjoy.
