I did that lap thing once in the US Army. Lapped everyone else on the annual 1 mile run on a 3 lap course. Why is this cycling related? I was the only cyclist on the base and rode a lot. No one else ever jogged or ran. One guy tried to stay with me for a lap and I caught him anyway. If someone in the lapped field had stayed with me they still would have failed the annual required fitness test run. It took me 7'30" and everyone else on the base was given the time of 7'59" so we would not have to start a fitness program.
