Ha! It's one of three - I'll hold off from typing it here though :)
To be honest, doing all these basics over the last few years has actually been OK, I enjoy being on the track and any time on it (fast or slow) is good for your bike handling / communication skills.
I'm not that worried about the pace of inters to be honest, I've done plenty of fast road riding, and more recently TT stuff. I know it will be tough - but as you say it's just a matter of holding on for a bit longer each week.
The nice thing about track compared to road is that if you're having a bad day or you're not strong enough, you can just pull off and sit out for a couple of laps (turning it into a sort of interval session) - if you're riding hard on the road and you get dropped, that gap isn't closing itself!
