This goes to 2 things.

1 - make sure your bike is in perfect condition. You don't want it causing you not to finish.

2 - conditioning. You need to be in as best shape as you can.
I read a great quote recently, and I'm sure that I"m butchering it, but I'll paraphrase it here:

"100% body and 90% machine will beat 90% body and 100% machine every time."

Stay healthy, train smart, and ride smarter; but above all, have fun. If it's not fun, why do it?
