I am doing Silver Modern and Silver Latin medals in approx. 4 weeks. Normally I do not get anxious before hand however after the "start" the adrenalin can send you into a fast pace. Does anyone have any successful ideas on how to best prepare and manage such anxiety. Our medals start at 9am on a Saturday and I daresay there will be a couple of hours watching others before my turn. I am thinking a practise might help at 6am before facing the "getting ready" at 7.30am. I am concerned about the sitting around time.
