Wax lube - sticky?

So I got a new road bike a few days ago, and when I touched the chain, it was sorta "sticky". I just accepted it, and I thought maybe it was wax lube. I had never touched wax lube on a chain before, so I wouldn't know what it's supposed to feel like.

Anyway, I went for my first ride with it today, and now my chain is coated with little bits of road crap. What should I do? Should I just leave it like this, or should I degrease it, and relube it with my regular lube (Finish Line Dry Lube)? Since I dry lube, I'm used to slick metal chains, not sticky ones.
