Met up with Fritz and Nate at the JRP close to the Davis County line. Idea was 20 in 6:30-7. I prepared mentally to run it in 6:30. We were at right around 6:35 pace at the 10 mile mark and then we picked it up at the turnaround. After miles of 6:06, 6:01 and 5:53 (fell behind a bit here), I let them drop me. I stayed just under 6:30 pace and then met up with them just after mile 17 where they'd concluded their tempo. Ended up averaging 6:29 for the run and finishing in 2:09:36. Happy with the run - garmin gives it 100 ft of elevation gains and losses over 20 miles so as honest as they come. I a counting miles under 6:15 as marathon pace, so a few of those dotted in there.
