The Importance of Drafting in an Age Group Race

Sir Nick was unfamiliar with everything from T1 to nutritional approaches, let alone the concept of drafting. Do you think exposure to top pros like Eric and Paula have skewed your impression of what an age group race is all about? I do think that 95% of the age group field is just out there trying to accomplish a personal goal. And the drafting is not intentional and something that they can't avoid because there's so many people.
