I'm doing my first ever XC race tomorrow. I am a bit nervous about what to do with passing and letting people pass and things of that nature. I may not be the strongest climber, but I commit and clean my climbs. On the course tomorrow, there is one climb I cannot clean yet. I make up a lot of my time on the downhill and technical sections which this course has plenty of. I'm concerned about being in peoples way on the climbs, and people being in my way on the descents and techy stuff. Is there a standard etiquette I should take into mind and follow? Any tips for a first timer? Any food, stretch, warm-up tips for me?
Thanks in advance!
