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?

George Young, the Black Shark Earnest Verkotter, the hunan windmill Gambi the Italian who stroked 100 strokes a minute
from an earlier time.
You do understand that Canada was where Marathon races started and some of the greatest marathon swimmers came from.

My understanding is that the lead goose tires not because he is "pulling" the others along, but because the others are benefitting from the draft and he is not, so he tires more quickly.
