No problem.


Remember: When you are doing your efforts, do them in the sprinters lane and pass slower riders on the right (as you would do in a race). Others will pass over you as they do faster efforts. If you are warming up or recovering on the track, it is customary to do it slightly above the blue "Stayers" line (in the middle of the track). People below you will be doing their efforts and people above you (to your right) will whiz by doing windups for flying efforts. I'm sure they covered this in your training classes.

If you need to slow down more but still move your legs, go to the inside of the apron or warmup circle.

When in doubt hold your line. The worst thing you can do is see a 200+ lb guy running up behind you at 40mph and you try to "get out of his way" and swerve left or right. Stay put. He's already decided if he's going above or below you. You moving will just screw things up
