Depending how I felt I'd start, and plan slower pace, but stop if felt at all crappy. Also depends how much paid to enter vs decent goodybag potential, and more importantly how this might impact future races lined up.
There used to be a saying that if it was neck up only you'd be ok, if below neck forget it, not sure if that's been debunked or not.
Only you can judge how you feel vs what's sensible to do though.
