>> Well, it's 6 AM for the weigh-in day right now,
and Rob's pretty good so
it won't take too long hopefully.
Because of the discipline,
it makes life a lot easier knowing
you don't have to be up all night,
knowing you don't have to cut a lot of weight.
So it does give you a bit of peace of mind
going to the weigh-in and then refueling.
So overall it's just probably the better way
to approach it, so.
No complaints from us, so.
