Overdub recording - too many tracks

I blew it in a video interview. The battery in one of the mics was dead so I only got the person I was interviewing and a little bit of me that came through on her microphone. I've separated out the audio. Now, I would like to dub my voice back in. The problem is that I talked intermittantly, and every time I record a dubbed me, Audacity creates a new audio track. At this rate, I'm going to end up with 100 audio tracks. Is there any way to put all the dubbing onto one track?

In Audacity 1.3, you can either pause the recording instead of stopping it, or use Transport > Append Recording.
