Narrative:

Checked 3 times for landing traffic subsequent to run-up and checks. Did not see or hear anyone except 1 aircraft on downwind. Communicated intention to depart. Looked back as I started turn into position for takeoff roll and saw aircraft on final. At the time I felt I had no option other than to continue takeoff roll and get out of his way. After the incident I decided that I probably should have discontinued the takeoff, turned the aircraft around and taxied back off the runway. I think the other aircraft turned back onto downwind, not sure. Also, he probably communicated intent to turn final at same time I called out takeoff intent, so that I did not hear him and he did not hear me. Training did not cover this situation.
