2 weeks isn't enough time to train for this so you may as well take it easy for the lead up.
Pacing and fueling are the most important things. Whatever happens don't bother trying to race anyone else (unless you're already a gun enduro rider in which case you wouldn't be asking this question). You should be riding a LOT slower than almost everyone during an enduro. Remember most people are riding as part of teams. I would definitely ride the most comfortable bike you have.. personally I LOVE suspension off-road. I wish I owned a duallie.
My mate's done some solo 24hrs (he just qualified for the Worlds). I've asked him if I can post his race report here (he emailed it so I don't want to post it unless he's cool).
Since you've never done one before you might want to break it into two bits and actually try and get a proper sleep in the middle.. this is what my mate did during his first one.. he didn't care that he was only doing 1/3rd the laps of the pros.. he just did what he could.
