That said, I'm hardly a sprinter, so surfing the field for the first 98% of a scratch race isn't going to work so well for me. Not trying to put the cart before the horse, but what would people recommend I do in races, if not attack? When I lived in OR I got my upgrade to the 1s by attacking in crits and making it stick on occasion.
I think the point is to not worry about winning and just get used to racing on the track. I started racing track this year, and it is different.
