The width of a lane in a circular running track is $1.22$ meters. One loop in the first lane (shortest lane) is $400$ meters. Thus $12.5$ loops makes it a $5{,}000$ meter distance. Which lane should an athlete run in if they want to make $12$ loops as close to the $5{,}000$ meter distance as possible? \[\rm a. ~second\qquad \mathrm b. ~third \qquad \mathrm c. ~fourth \qquad\mathrm d. ~fifth \qquad\mathrm e. ~sixth\]
