If this is your first competition, i can assure you that you are going to exhaust yourself regardless of your division. pacing and conserving your energy takes time to develop and gauge. If you cut weight and feel fine, then that's ok, but there's really no point in killing yourself over your first competition. There's a million things you're going to learn just by doing it in general. if the competition is really important, like money is on the line or something, then cut if you feel it is necessary, but in general, i would just focus on getting your skills better. that time investment developing your skills will pay off way more.
