I found this bug/trick today.

Bind a repeating section to Table1 and insert your controls.

Next, bind an optional section to Table1 (outside of the repeating section). Open it up, change the properties so that it does not appear by default. Close the properties dialog box and then delete the optional section.

Now preview or run the form. When it opens, the repeating table shouldnt have created a new record by default.

Thanks for sharing this. You can also do this without the extra section by going Tools | Default Values, and then clearing the check box for the node representing your table.
