I ended up in the slow heat for the 800 but it really wasn't a big deal because I knew in order to get that state record I would have to take it out fast no matter what. I went through the 200 in about :25 and then the 400 in :52 but I was really focused on hitting the 600, I came through at about 1:21 which was perfect and I knew that if I could just kick it in hard I would have the record".
