Well, actually it's the initial surge more than anything. The real key is to keep up from the very beginning of the attack. If it was truly within a minute, they took off in sort of "attack" form. Eventually the pace evens out, and they settle down, just at a higher speed than before. Once you get dropped it's very difficult to catch back up. The key is to suck it up in the beginning, choke your heart back down as it's trying to crawl up your throat. You'll learn to recognize when it's about to happen. It's usually initiated by one or two people in the group. Everybody knows it's going to happen, eventually. It's not like they plan "at mile marker such and such we pick it up a notch". Just at some point somebody attacks and everybody follows.
