I got stuck in a slower heat because I didn't have a seed time, so I ended up having to lead the first 600m. This proved to be an issue since I haven't really raced an 8 in 6+ months, so I ended up going too low (~62 at 400) and getting passed by someone with a better kick at the end to finish in 2:04.75. It's not a horrible debut, in fact that's pretty incredible considering how long I was out and how little time I've had to get in shape, but it falls short of the travel standard of 2:03.mid, which is a shame. I really think that if I had been in the first heat, or at least if I ran through the 400 in 60, I would have run well under 2:03.
