Switchback descents

This will be the first time I face these things in a race, and I really don't know much about them other than what I see the pros do while descending il Poggio in MSR.

How fast should I enter the turn? I assume 20mph is not too slow? What techniques do you use as far as body/bike lean is concerned? Unfortunately, I don't have many of these around the area on which I can practice

Thanks
