So you should always be able to race faster than practice. Your nerves or adrenaline helps you, unless you let it negatively affect your performance. Some people become too nervous and can not perform well in competition. You must learn to use your extra energy by controlling it. Relax, do not get too excited, treat the race like you do a practice, warm up the same way. You will be able to perform in a race better than you can in practice no matter how hard you try in practice. Your body reserves about 5% of its ability for emergencies.

However this is also relative to an athletes ability to deal with the pressure of competition (nerves), if they don't cope well, this has a negative effect on performance and coordination (commonly refered to as trying too hard) You should probably try and focus on the biological side, which is the hormonal responses, as nerves fall more into the psychological than into the physical area of fitness.
