Of course. But that's why you do track days, is to learn. We all have to start somewhere.
My two cents: get pads and get some good fluid in. Nothing sucks like cutting sessions or the day short because you drove beyond the capability of your brake system, and of course there is a real possibility it ends worse than that. You want to focus on a) your driving, and b) having fun. Nursing your braking system will get in the way of that.
My very first track day was in a 140HP Celica GT with an automatic transmission. "Oh, I'll just put some new stock pads in, and switch to this brake fluid, it says its boiling point is 500 degrees F! That sounds like a lot!" Yeah, LOL. Pads and fluid were discarded afterwards with great enthusiasm.
