1. bend your elbows.
2. arch your back like a pissed cat
3. make sure you leave the extreme saddle/stem drop on the track.
*if you feel yourself completely supporting your upper body with your hands, you're too steep for a daily ride. there should be some sort of balance between the weight carried on the seat/legs/arms. too much on any one part and you give up something else. its why track drops are so low compared to road drops. on the track, the discomfort yeilds a more aero positioning, on the road, this wouldn't be a good trade off.
