Here are a few things i have learned about the pre-race jitters -

1) prep and pack for all conditions - the more prepared you are gear wise, the less you have to worry about

2) you have trained and done all you can, you will do the best you can - remember the race ain't over until its over! as long as the bike is moving forward you are making PROGRESS

3) ride your race and don't worry about other people. Set your goals for your race, whether it is avg speed or time (i don't know about this race) set some goals, this will help keep things focused on yourself and not on other things you can't control

4) weather - can't control the weather. See number 1)

5) have fun! remember why you signed up in the first place!

Smile!
