So no X-Large then? A large would fit, I'm just a fan of loose fitting shirts.

I think you'll do well, in my first competition, I got 16th, and I only averaged 35~ish (slow for me) You'll probably average 3~4 seconds slower because of nerves, I did...
Also, bring ALL of your cubes, or else you'll feel outdone...

I plan to finish nearly last and be slower than I usually am, yes 
Since I've never competed.. I'll probably be shaking nervous
I don't have many cubes - I'm buying a ton at the comp haha..
I only really have 3x3-7x7, Megaminx, Pyraminx Crystal and Bump Cubes (silver and gold)

Really plan to finish last. Really digest the fact that you will be 30% slower than usual. It will happen - no kidding. Facing competition pressure will be dreadful. You'll miss your cross. You will try to go fast in F2L. You will lock up in LL - 3 times. You will look at your time feeling awful.
At the end your only satisfaction would be to have participated.
Sigh...
Sigh again...
As long as that will be your expectation - I really mean that your enter the room with not much more than that - you will exit the room pretty proud of yourself.
Have you noticed the difference between cubing with or without the timer? Same thing, 10 x. Slow down, snail down. Ensure a safe time, ensure a safer time.
No caffeine. 1/2 hour of cardio before hand (get the stress out, get the focus in). Don't cube in the morning, except to warm up your finger/hands.
