Luckily for you, good form is on your side. Stay away from those vacation buffet lines!
Spoken like a pro/ex-pro. Take your average cat5/newbie/casual rider and tell him to put in a couple hours the night before and morning of and he's not going to make it to the race let alone have good form. That could total he/her weekly time in 24 hours.
