Yes it is bad. she can run sub2 and has done so multiple times before. the 800m very crazy bad
It probably did not quite go as planned in LA, but she has run sub 2 exactly once two years ago (when she ran sub 15, sub 2, sub 4 within 3 weeks) and it's been almost two years that she ran an 800m race at all. And she has tied up an ran very positive splits in such races before (like 58 - 65), although hardly ever so badly. I guess she tied up at 500m or so and decided not to force it because of the second race not long afterwards.
The 1500m race was pretty good considering the 800m before and overall it had the character of a workout/test (maybe not successful).
Or maybe you are right, she is done and will quit and get back to modelling...
