I'm not much of an experienced racer, but I would say try not to start off too fast, because that was my big mistake in my first race. My 1st mile was super fast (for me), by mile 2 I started paying for it, and I had nothing left in me to push the last half mile. Ah, live and learn. That race is still my 5K PR though so I was happy with it regardless.
Enjoy yourself!
