Paced the 1:40 group at Snow Canyon. This is an ideal time for me because most of my runs are around theis pace and it is very natural. Freezing while waiting at the start but the temps were perfect while we ran. I was able to lock in 7:38 effort right from the beginning and the pace never felt forced. Was within 10 seconds of the total elapsed time at every mile marker which was great but added a little extra stress towards the end. I usually like to have a 30 second cushion. We probably pushed a little more than the runners around us wanted to on the rollers through Entrada but they all stuck with us. A 14 year old kid ran with us from start to finish which was pretty cool. Ended up crossing the ffinish line 4 seconds early without any slowing or speeding up the last little bit Feel like I ran this as close to perfect as I could get.
