This will be my first "short" xc race. I ride 4-7 hours a week right now and took 4th in cat 3 last year in my first ever 100k, which would have put me somewhere in the mid CAT 2. I'm not that aggressive in terms of charging through technical obstacles so I am not sure where that puts me for a shorter race. I haven't been specially race training this year, I just go out and ride at whatever pace feels right. And, I will be on an all mountain bike (a pretty nice one though), vs I think most serious types will be on lighter hardtails.
The cat 3 is 7.5 miles....just how beginner will it be?
Cat 2 is an extra lap so 15 miles...more my distance but again this is a different animal I terms of Intensity and duration.
Cat 2 has a single speed and Clydesdale category which I could also enter.
I guess what I am saying is CAT 2 seems like the right one unless someone thinks I will truly get in the way....
