I predict DNF
If this 800m tt was an honest effort 2:35 is just out of your reach right now. Running 2:35 requires you to open in 1:15-1:17 which seems to be a pace that is burning you out.
Next race try and open in 1:18-1:19 and give that last lap everything you’ve got. I do think you’re currently capable of sub 2:40, probably 2:37-38 at the best. Keep working on your pacing and endurance and you’ll get there!
Good luck!!!
1:16 & 1:26? I would aim for an even 1:18ish. You probably could have set a PR in that TT with better pacing. Guessing the 1st 200 was also super fast.
The best women are probably positive splitting by 3ish seconds in an 8.
