I did the same, but put in a new tube and rejoined (is that allowed?). Couldn't avoid coming last after that. Considering tubeless now.

If ya did it in the pits.
It doesn't matter really unless you are competing for places / league standing.
Tubeless helps with this but make sure you use the modern tougher tubeless specific tyres that have reinforced sidewalls, coz instead of wrecking a tube you might wreck the sidewall of tyre instead.
Unless you are going to win stuff I'd sneakily try tyres a bit bigger than UCI / BC rules determine, simply because it's such a bloody waste of time and money if you schlepp to a race then pinch flat on lap 1.

I did 1 1/2 laps before getting a pinch flat on a rock just before the hill, first lap felt alright too.
