I suggest get their early to ease pre race jitters. Then just go out and have fun.

Ride at your own fastest pace. Don't blow yourself up early on trying to hold someones wheel that going faster than you can maintain. Concentrate on riding smooth, try to carry a little more speed through the corners and over roots than your used to. I focus on staying efficient throughtout my race and try and finish strong.

Hammer down as hard as you can and never look back. Just kidding. Good advise above. Listen to your body, race within yourself and don't worry about the others. Its just a hobby so keep it on two wheels, don't get hurt and enjoy!
