My team is trying to put together a DMR for nationals, but since we won't have a chance to run an actual DMR before the event, we're putting together a composite time of the four legs, and since the 1200 is not a regulation event that I can run, my time is going to need to be converted from my 800. I just ran a 2:04.41 800. What does that convert to for the 1200?

Difficult to say without another time. What's your 1600 time? Depending on whether you're a better 800 runner or 1600 runner, a predicted 1200 time would be different. For example, if you're a 4:30 miler, I would seed you at 3:14ish, but if you were 4:40, I would say 3:17
for 1600 meters and under, if you're equally trained for both events,
new time = old time x (new distance/old distance)^1.13
124.41 x 1.5^1.13 = 196.58
3:16
