I would definitely recommend you go watch a race first. Here in the states all of the amateur races are free to watch, and then you can see what and how races are done and how racers prepare for the races (signing up, getting ready, clothes/equipment, etc).
You are correct on the assumption that you will not win on the first race. Plan to finish the race not crashing/cause crashing, not breaking rules or getting lost (if trail is unmarked) and you’ll do better on the next race. The nutrition part is a little more tricky if you’re new into cycling, there’s a lot of things to go over but basically for a race, don’t eat too heavy before but have enough carbs- it really depends on how long the race may be.
Good luck! One other advice is hang around people you know that race, and you’ll pick up a lot more tips than here.
