Preparation is key. Don't worry, be happy, don't give up without solid reasons, remember your Lance Amstrong quote about quitting. You need to sleep well before monday evening. You completed your qualifiers so you know what is ahead of you. For most, the 600 km (<40 hours, remember) is harder than the real PBP (40 + 50 = 90 hours for 1200 km). Identify each single pain or other cause for worry and concentrate on sorting it out ahead of time. Prepare your pack(s), the timing of each stop, your bicycle, batteries, *everything. Store it somewhere, not to touch it until saturday
