I go along with what stap says......just pray that it turns out to be the worst experience of your life.
Treat it as a training run and be very prepared to come last.
The things you need to know can only really be learned by doing it.
As stap says, the warm up is very important otherwise you may start and finish in last position...watch the other riders warm up and take your cue from them.
