You'll be fine. Hype of the race and running with others is enough on it's own to get you over the 2.1 additional miles.
I've never run an open half, but have run the distance in training. I can't tell much of a difference between a 10 mile run and a 13.1 mile run, so take comfort in knowing it's not a huge leap to that distance.
Like many have said, don't try to catch the guy in front. Run your race. Let the people motivate you, but don't let them push you. I'm a relatively slow runner, but a competitive person. I get caught up in it for almost any race I've ever done, and I'm never looking to podium or anything.

Same, I'm getting into Tri's (olympic distance) and 13.1 is far enough for that training
If you aren't at least tempted by a half ironman or full, you will be. I'm waiting for the NOLA Ironman 70.3 registration to open up. Then from there will see if I can gut out the training for a full.

Do it somewhere else. Course and event group suck.
