800 m. repeats -- didn't go well!

Tonight we were to do 800 metre repeats at Thompson Arena. I was going to try for the maximum suggested -- 6 repeats -- at a 4:10 pace or better (3:20 per 800 m.). It started well. It didn't end well.

3:18 (800 m.)
3:24 (800 m.)
3:25 (800 m.)
1:44 (could only do 400m. at that pace)
1:51 (another 400 m.)
3:33 (back to 800 m.)

I ran with Ted who knocked them all off.

Looking at previous sessions, this one wasn't good:

But, it is what it is. I didn't have anything left to do more or faster than what I was doing.
