When you did that first ride with the group, were you well rested before that? Maybe even hadn't ridden for a week or so?
I might just put it down to you had my more glycogen reserves that first ride and fewer for the second.
Though whether or not you pulled more on the second, or the wind direction may have played a part too in the difference.
