It's probably too late to make much in the way of chess preparations.

Prepare yourself physically and mentally. Get a good sleep. Eat well, but not too heavily. Relax. Center yourself. Shortly before the tournament begins, do something that will put you in a confident and optimistic frame of mind. I used to spend that window of time looking over a few old games that I had played that I was particularly proud of or fond of.
