Alice Speed immediately picked up the thread, her speech quickening slightly:
"Exactly. The effects of environmental microclimates on muscle heat dissipation efficiency, core temperature regulation, and post-race recovery rates are often underestimated. They directly affect whether one can perform steadily—or even exceed one's usual level.
"Regarding the electrolyte-balance plan you mentioned, is it a dynamic model established around individual differences, or a general early-warning indicator summarized from group performance?
"Oh, I haven't mentioned this before, but these issues actually..."
She paused briefly and looked toward Yasui Makoto and the others, who were still in the Living Room:
"They mainly concern overseas expeditions.
"This is one of the main directions our team will be pursuing over the coming year. Similar environmental adaptability issues will be our primary challenge.
"For example, we need a comprehensive strategy for dealing with different time zones, temperatures, humidity levels, and track hardness—especially the softer tracks commonly found in Europe. The 'approach to handling environmental differences' accumulated through local races would be highly instructive."
Highly cooperative, Yamato Akagi also pressed for more details:
"Did you make systematic comparative records of horseshoe and racing-shoe adaptations under different soil conditions?"
Although Yasui Koichi's expression remained serious, professional brilliance had already appeared in his eyes, and he began speaking at greater length:
"I made some comparative records. I mainly adjusted things by combining the patterns and depth of post-race horseshoe wear with the feelings of traction and points of fatigue reported by the horse girls.
"As for electrolyte and nutritional plans, they leaned more toward warning signs summarized through long-term observation—for example, how to fine-tune the diet when an appetite remained poor, and what to supplement first when one's mental state declined.
"After all, local races had limited conditions, so practicality and immediate results were emphasized more.
"As for overseas
