Don't forget 97 percent of the rally is still to go.
I'm not thinking about the possibility that I might have to stop the car and then sleep through the night in the middle of the desert. If I have to do that, then okay. I'll get on with it. Of course I know the stories about the men with guns but it's best not to think about them -- and then hope we don't see any of them.
