Time controls and actual time played

Hi all,

I am going to play in an OTB tournament with time controls at 40/2, sd/1.  I have never played with such long time control and I am not sure I can sit at a board for 6 hours if the game goes that long.  For those of you that have played this time control how long do the games typically last on average?  I realize this is subjective based on the players but I was really hoping for some input.

Thank you.

Wow that sounds kinda grueling!  Best of luck and let me know how it goes.  And if you ever want to play another game against me....just let me know. Hope you and the boys are well.
