Never done mountain biking before.

I'm worried that the typical cross course would be highly technical. In other words, if I'm good physically, I still will not do well because of the technical side. Just how technical is the typical course? Are they fast...or more technical? I prefer fast...like a crit.

What should I expect? What should I prepare fore? I live in NC..and we have a pretty good cross series here. I'd like to give it a try.

Now I need a cross bike.
