Planning to take part in my first gravel race in a few weeks. Any tips / advice /stories from your own gravel experiences?

I've got no tips, since I don't race. But be safe, have fun, and good luck!
Thanks! It's not too long of a ride, just 34 miles, but it's going to be a lot of elevation over that distance. It's not as much as like a mountain bike course but more than a road course. Just aiming to finish and have fun!
I have a love/hate relationship with elevation. The bikes I've had for the last two years were either not geared for more than city riding, or too heavy to be climbing rigs. But after getting a new road/gravel bike a few weeks back, I've been jumping out of the saddle for some climbs and actually really enjoy them!
At this point, I'll take elevation over headwind! Pace yourself, and enjoy!
