You guys are making my head hurt! But thanks for your input. It seems like following is the easiest solution. I'll worry about the rest if I ever catch up.
problem I have with following is unless you can get higher than them you will suck their bad wind and just get further behind. what does everyone else do if you have a somewhat poor start and are behind everyone? I know the correct answer is to have a better start (I am not as aggressive as I should be starting... just plain not good at it)
