Just remember to go your own pace. It will be especially important for you due to the lack of sleep. Being sleep deprived, I would suggest not getting on a wheel. I know my reaction time is increased when I am a little tired. Even if the blood is pumping and I feel awake, I am just not as focused on what I am doing. It is kind of like riding in a slight fog so to speak.
Let me know how staying in the tent goes. My first year out it rained badly, several actual tents flooded (personal tents). Just try to pick a high spot! haha I am sure they will have cots there for you all.
