I’m Getting Nervous

I'm starting to get somewhat worried about how I'll do at my first race, which is now about two weeks away.

I've been running and riding as much as I can, and I've even been trying to practice dismounts whenever I am able - even during my commutes - but I'm still nervous. It's not that I'm afraid of losing - I've accepted that this is a great possibility. It's more a fear of the unknown, I suppose.

Perhaps a way to to overcome the fear is to transfer it - specifically to the other racers. Maybe if I wear this...

...i'll put the fear into my fellow racers who will think that I am so incredibly fit that my skin cannot contain my muscles.

Or maybe, they'll think that they're racing Slim Goodbody, which might confuse them long enough for me to catch up...

but they'll probably just think "poor bastard's been skinned alive - oh well, he's nothing to worry about" as they zoom past.

So, did I mention I'm getting nervous?
