Correct! Scientifically. I was using the terminology the cyclist use. They understand "pulling" when you are out front cause they "push" all the wind doing a majority of the work and the rest of the group relaxes in the draft. Relaxing in the draft is the same as filling up the low pressure behind the lead rider.
