  2. Describe your race day.

    Start line, the scenery and the quiet during the first 18 - 20.

  3. Did you PR?

    No. My PR's were 40 years ago. I am already qualified for '19.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    The first 18 - 20 idyllic, grand, big beautiful. Last 6 - 8 a nightmare being blasted by 50,000 lb. big rigs three feet away. HORRIBLE!!! The finish was a disaster. No chocolate milk - I am sure all the half marathoners had enough, made to STAND IN THE SUN FOR 45 MINS. waiting for a 10 mile shuttle ride. This is the worst shuttle experience I have ever had in a point to point race. BAR NONE!!!

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Standard program of distance, hill and speed work.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Do the Seattle R & R.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    Went home.

    There will be no return to Mt. Hood in the near future if any at all.

    I should have known better than to run an inaugural.
