I'm so proud of the men on my team/club they will pull me around without a problem. And they are more then willing to let me pull when I am able to. Most of them are so much stronger then I am. I was ave. 21 and they stayed right behind me until I blew up. I was fine with the pace but I suddenly got a stomache cramp that stopped me cold. I tried to latch back on but the cramp was so deep and bad I had to slow down to like 12mph for 3 or 4 miles. My legs were ok I just suddenly hurt, then after it let up I resumed my original speed. I hate to be passed by guys I know I can beat.
