Well, I've committed to my first ever road race, (non-TT format). It's 39 miles... that's not an issue for me as I've been riding a long time. Racing is not new to me, I've been racing triathlon for years. But road racing is a whole different animal.
Words of advice and encouragement appreciated.
Right now I feel like I might puke from nerves. Funny that, seeing as I've been racing Tri for 13 years. This has got me totally nervous.

Very cool! You've mentioned that you were working at improving your cycling times in tri, so maybe this helps further that goal.
I bet you'll wonder afterwards what you were so worried about.
When is the big day? How did you choose the particular race you've entered? Will we be able to follow the race online?

And where is it?
You are so determined. I bet you'll do great."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."
