@nortexoid It's not the wind resistance. That only requires about 1-2% more energy to fight the wind and it's not entirely eliminated when you're drafting on someone.
@MrPhilosophicalpanda Well, yes, but mostly because those people are just pacers! But always because it's harder to lead with all the wind resistance. I think it wasn't a smart strategy. Prefontaine can do it, but c'mon! Also, legendary how he calls the Japanese girl the 'Japanese girl'!

The person who leads in the beginning almost never wins the race.
