800: 202.8
4x400: 51.6 (split)

Well, the 8 felt terrible. I'm not really sure what the problem was, but just never felt comfortable or smooth, and never got in a rhythm at all. Lanese and Sly both said I looked bad in the first 100 meters, which is how I felt. There were a lot of people in the heat, but there was a scratch so I got my own lane. Still got out in like 26, which was faster than I wanted, but didn't want to get boxed in, so kinda surged a bit on the back stretch. But again, didn't feel comfortable at all, and started fading by 400 (57-58), and it was all downhill from there. Not really sure what the issue was, but whatever it was I can't let that happen again.
Was able to sort of redeem myself in the 4x4. Relay team was Ben, me, Drew, and Vaughn. Split 51.6, which is a PR, despite the stiff wind on the last curve and home stretch, and was also the fastest split on the relay, though Jim and Ty weren't running. Still feel like I'm not being aggressive enough in the first 200, and I can definitely go faster. Also, no hamstring problems, but I think compensating for it is causing stuff to spread, cause my hip and groin in the same leg are pretty stiff and sore.
