Did you do the motor pacing at on the track or road? I did my first MP session at the track a couple of weeks ago. It was a blast. I have been looking at the Bont track shoes. How do you like them?

He had me stand up and as I sat down, he positioned me on the saddle. The way to align someone is to use the seam in the cycling shorts. The seam will bisect the sit bones (assuming the shorts are on straight). Align the seam with the center of the saddle. You can do this alone by feeling the seam and the center of the saddle. It felt like I was now sitting on both sit bones evenly but felt totally different. However, it was really easy to adapt to the centered position.
