^ A pack finish with the rubber side down on your first time out is a success. You did well. It doesn't matter how fast the peloton was going.
Edit: and in my experience, there is very little cooperation in Cat 5. You can cooperate with people who you familiarize yourself with. I will definitely cooperate with the guy who won in the next race. It's a part of my plan to get better. He's good, and I think I can use him to establish a break.
