1. Describe your race day.

   3am wake up. Hotel 1/2 mile from buses. 1hour bus ride. Fortunately not too cold at start. Adequate bathrooms. Course was beautiful. Shoulder was narrow. Finish line area small & crowded. Not enough bathrooms. Poor post race food. Long wait for buses to parking.

2. Did you PR?

   No

3. How would you describe the course?

   Incredibly beautiful mostly shaded wicked downhill

4. Tell us about your training.

   I’ve been running a marathon every 3-5 weeks for > 20 years. I run 60 miles each week. 2 runs of 16 miles & 2 runs of 14 miles. I bike 60 miles the other 3 days. Biking builds strong quads & glutes for downhill running

5. What advice would you give future runners?

   Stay near the sandy high school. Wear Hokas. Bring warm clothes to start.

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

   Shopped at the used bookstore & record store in Downtown Portland. Visited Sauvie Island
