Why the nerves?

The Chalk creek road race is in 12 hours. I am nearly in a panic, why?

Maybe because I haven't raced for over a month? Maybe because I have high expectations? Is it the hype of the team? Is it the new wheels? WTF??

I walked my dog an hour ago telling myself: I can do it. I will do fine. I can do it. I can do it.

Maybe criteriums are good to stay sharp and reduce the racing cobwebs.
