Describe your race day.
I loved running down Mt. Hood. It was beautiful and it was definitely a race that I would recommend!
-
Did you PR?
No, I did not PR but I did run my best time in over a year even though I was not really in shape for that kind of time!
-
How would you describe the course?
The first half was beautiful and very fast. The second half was challenging and did seem dangerous at times. I would recommend some sort of screening process for the start corrals. I placed myself appropriately but it was quite clear that many others did not. It didn't make it very safe to have to try to pass two slower runners that were side by side when they probably should have started further back with runners of similar speeds.

Tell us about your training.
I run marathons all the time. I didn't do anything very different for this race.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Like I said before, I would place yourself appropriately in your start corral. It makes the most sense and it's for safety. I also would recommend taking the extra shuttle from downtown Portland. I saved money on a rental car and got to enjoy staying downtown.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
There are so many microbreweries to choose from that I feel that is a must for anyone who likes beer! I also went to a Timbers game - that was fun! And there are so many different places to hike and explore that everyone should get out and see some of the beautiful area during their stay!
