LOL. Truer words, never spoken.
Listen, you'll get plenty of practice and plenty of time on your bike. In fact by the end of Monday, I bet you won't want to ride your bike for at least another week.
I did Angel Fire for the first time in 2006. Fresh out from California, where I "thought" we had some gnarly trails. Boy was I surprised. I couldn't believe people actually rode the kinda stuff at AF, let alone raced down it. By race day I had not made it down the entire course a single time without stopping to take at least one break for a rest.
On my race run, I completely lost my chain 1 minute into my run. Somehow I managed to pull off a third place finish and officially made my first complete run without stopping. I'm pretty sure losing my chain resulted in a faster time, because I was forced to keep my momentum up.
After that race, I HATED AF and did NOT look forward to it in 2007. But things went much better in 07 and now I love it. My favorite course of the MSC series.
