TTT tips ZRL

I joined a team not long ago to race in ZRL. I was originally in D category and got bumped up to a team in C because I couldn’t make the race times for the D teams. Thus I am the weakest rider on the entire team.

I did my first scratch race and was unable to make the large group and raced the entire race alone with maybe 10 behind me and 60 in front.

Need some help with strategy….for today’s TTT it looks like we only have 4 racing and being that I am so slow compared to the others I’m wondering how this plays out.

Do I just hang onto the back of the train as long as possible and drop when I’m at my limit? I don’t think I’ll be able to do many pulls if any, it will probably take all I have to just hang onto the back. But if I understand correctly that the team gets the time of the last rider finishing so is it better for the team to wait for me? I’ll be communicating to with the team before and during the race just looking for some advance advice as well.
