Edain

Edain is the elvish word for men. They entered Middle-earth in the first Era, and are considered the average race on The Two Towers. They aren't as strong as a Dwarf, but they are stronger than a Hobbit. They aren't as quick and elusive as an Elf, but they are faster than an Orc. If you want to make a character that knows a little bit about a lot of different things then this is your best choice, but if you want a specialized character that is really good at one particular profession, then this probably isn't the best choice. Edain are a good race for first timers, because you can test out lots of different things.
