Dan, that is how I was taught as well. But, I have learned that the 80
KIAS is critical because much above that speed has caused me to bounce,
and much below that speed it really wants to stall.

By reg it can't stall at more than 61 knots. At gross. You were
probably 500 or so under gross which would put the stall at around 56
knots. The standard approach speed of 1.3 Vso would make that 73 knots.
80 knots just burns up runway.
