Newbie here... first race in 6 days. I'm a decent swimmer, decent (but never raced) biker, and crappy runner.
Been biking for ages, bought my first race bike and from my group rides, seems I'll be "middle" of the pack.
Well, I assumed I'd stink and never worried about drafting. Now I'm worried.
How do I avoid? Pass? How close?
Race is on roads... roads which will NOT be shut down during the race, although it'll be very low traffic due to being early on a Sat.
thoughts?
