Agreed, I'm noticing that I'm not as fit as some of the other guys and that is a serious problem. I'm also seriously limiting myself running a TINY gear, so this week I think I'm going to put on a big boy gear (90") and see how I do.

Its hard to train for something and then race it when its nearly 80% longer. I've started realizing I'll never be the person off the front early in those races, rather if I have any chance its at the end when the second pack is catching the break aways.
