We all know that drafting off someone allows you to go faster with less effort, I am wondering if being drafted off of slows one down? Anyone know?

Here's an experiment that may answer some of your questions:
Go to the bathtub, fill it up with water.
Take your 3 hole punch and empty the confetty over the water surface. Put your hand in the water (slowly and carfully, to disturb the surface as little as possible) then pull your hand in a fast liner motion in one direction, as if it is a swimmer going in that direction. Watch what happens to the confetti.
Do it again, at variable speeds and variable hand depth and cross section.
