A highschool friend of mine were sharing a room and doing our first National together in 2003. The phone rang early one morning. I answered and the person on the other line wanted to know where my partner was because he was supposed to be on the plate in 10-15 minutes. Our hotel was about 20 minutes away. I told my partner who was in mid slumber. After putting on his duds, we looked at each other and almost said simultaneously, "I guess that means you won't be on the dish on Sunday."
Recommendation: Always have a backup plan for getting up on time. Bring more clothes than you will use. Expect the unexpected.
And finally, relax and enjoy yourself. Ive done three of these now (last one being 18-A in College Station) and had a blast every time.
