Getting a team together has become emotionally exhausting. The girls at my gym tend to be really catty about it and it's become a source of real frustration for me. I love it, the actually day of a comp is SO much fun, and I definitely enjoy the eating afterwards. But all that is just not worth how frustrating getting the actual team together has become.
I'm feeling pretty sad about this. But also sort of relieved.

I'm sorry that something that I know you enjoy has become a headache. I hope someone else steps up and that you guys can get a more set team together that works well and has fun, so that you don't have to worry about who's going to be involved each time.
Orrrrr you go individual and kick all their asses as revenge. No?
I don't enjoy individual nearly as much. I do mostly coed comps now but they usually involve finding other girls unless it's a M/F partner comp. My H will be my partner for those
It does sound like the right choice to step back & take a break (at least from being the lead.)
I hope you can find other fulfilling goals to work toward or maybe take advantage of the M/F team as PPs have said. Hope it all works out for the best!

I would really like to work on strength for awhile instead of Crossfit-type conditioning. So there's that.
