Two times around a track is a hard distance. For a 400 you plan to start at 90% and finish at 93-94% (assuming 100% is an all-out sprint). An 800 is different. Start at about 85% and guage the competition and how you feel. Stay with the lead if you can, and/or hold back just a bit to take prisoners and finish strong.
Tonight was not Ike's best (2:03), but he left it on the track, and he continues to improve his racing intelligence and maturity. As he grows into his body and gets the next level of coaching and competition, he'll be a beast. I'm very proud of him.
