Instantly leggy tomatoes?

I planted some tomatoes this weekend on a heating pad (no lights).

This morning, I noticed that a few were just beginning to sprout. Literally, just barely peeking through the "soil" (peat). Under the lights they went (4 T8's - 2 warm, 2 cool, near the tray)

Tonight, they're looking leggy - they're about 1 1/2" inches tall. I'm shocked that they grew so quickly, but really, their first leaves are barely there. How did that happen so quickly? I know that I can plant them deeper when I replant, but is this the norm? Wowzers!
