the hours count down

I'm no longer counting days to my triathlon, now I'm counting hours. The triathlon begins Sunday morning so I've got about 40 hours until the race, I think. This morning I decided I needed to only think positively about the race. So whenever I get a thought along the lines of "what the hell am I doing" or "who got me into this", or "I'm going to get eaten by a sea monster" I try to tell myself that it is going to be fine, and my bike won't break down and I won't drown and if I have to, I'll walk the 5K run. So, some possible mantras for race day are:
I can do it
I am strong
Hear me ROAR!

Any ideas for other mantras? I like these, but they aren't grabbing me like I thought they would.
