Chris, it is OK to be nervous.  A lot of us are.

I was very nervous when I first ran, so many things to take in.

Ask questions when you are there.

I was told to get a start line Procedure and don't rush things. That helped me heaps.

Work the speed up over the Meet.

Remember to Breath and have fun. :cheers:
