By "trying to drop you" do you mean you were right on his wheel drafting him?
No, I passed him once and when he passed me I just hung back about 10-20 yds. It felt like he was sandbagging at 200 yds out from an intersection and then pouring it on in the last stretch, like I would get caught at the red.
But I freely admit that my competitive spirit kicks in at times like this, and I could have been imagining things. I guess I was disappointed because I didn't want to lose the psychological push from having somebody faster out front.
