I was one of those wasted talent guys. Quit at a young age because I hated track.

I know that feeling, but compound that feeling to the square and that's how you feel during the 800.
I am a wimp and do not have what it takes to be good at any athletic endeavor, but I enjoy pushing myself a little.
As a result of my triathlon training, I train across the board with 400s up to marathon distance, and each distance provides an interesting challenge. Of course, my 400 is a joke, even compared to what it once was. I do not believe I would do much better than a 69. Speed leaves the body fast.
