The interesting thing - I don't even think the guys up front wanted me pulling. I was waiting for one of them to give me a look or a comment like "WTF?! No free ride for you!" but every time I snuck into the 2nd to rear position, the guy behind me would take off to get ahead of me. The strongest guy up front made repeated sprints to lose us 5, but the power of the group is impressive, as we caught him every time.
