Who was doing the shouting? Your coach/teammates or your opponents?
If it's your coach, it may be because he/she thinks that you don't have enough in you to stay off the front and place in the race.
If it's your opponents, they simply don't want the pace to pick up so early and be forced to chase which may screw up their sprint plans.
