The Emergency Plan builds systems for Mid South's red clay terrain and weather lottery: freezing rain or heat that work under load. Weather adaptation training prepares you for variable conditions. Three-Act pacing framework maps tactics to the race timeline. Technical skills and mental protocols are practiced under load. Training at 15-18 hours requires systems, not just discipline.
