If it's a USA Triathlon-sanctioned event, drafting is not allowed. If someone passes you, you have to fall back so there are at least 2 bike lengths between you. Check out the rules at http://www.usatriathlon.org/Rules_Of...rules.htm#5.10 . If you have more questions, you might want to ask the helpful women on the triathlon board http://forums.teamestrogen.com/forumdisplay.php?f=45 .

thanks. We are allowed to draft (no aerobars though). My assumption is that the smaller groups will kind of fall in naturally with riders that are similar speed.
My concern is that I've never ridden with more than 4 riders. I've been reading everything I can about proper etiquette and the more comfortable I am about not doing anything wrong, the more confident I'll feel race day.
If my assumption is wrong, please let me know!
