Come, run, have fun, and don't worry about all that crap while you're still likely in the "is this a sport I want to get serious about" phase.
After running a full season of "no worries" I can say I DEFINITELY feel that I was WAY more ready to actually compete in class this year, confidence wise, and skill wise.
You're completely right in that a bunch of newbies shoved into classes will not really mean "competition" so much as just numbers.

I agree with Cory. Having run in Novice the entire time in my first year definitely helped me out. Having the choice of running in the morning or afternoon was key for me and made it possible to come to most of the events. Also nice to get pointers and advice from everyone out there, with ride alongs and what not. It would have been a bit frustrating jumping right into SM and getting smacked around (something to look forward to next year
)
