Start it, then deal with everything one problem at a time. Don't think "shiiiiit I can't ride 24hrs" think "I'll just finish this lap, then I can eat something different" and go do another lap. Rinse, repeat. Small goals. Keep moving forward.

Being a natural pessimist, I think of the riding as something I can either physically plough ( slowly ) on with, or not, depending on poor fuelling, injury, or irreversible mechanical. It's the little details that weigh me down mentally and get my anxiety going. Will I get to the event ok? Will I have all the right clothing, food, lights? Will I get any sleep the night before? etc etc.
Will get a checklist written down, as it's all just floating madly around my head at the moment, which isn't terribly helpful.

This. So much this.
Also, more generally, I noticed Bullheart had said he'd pit this if he was still around. Maybe nice to have his banner, or pin badges with team LFGSS?

Think I've eventually settled into the idea of feeling much worse if I didn't go through with it :-)
