Describe your race day.

It was very early but the scenery was amazing. I would love to run that same route again sometime in the future. The finish line, however, was not in an ideal spot. Having to shuttle the spectators in and out caused some major issues and I think a good number of spectators missed watching and cheering their loved ones on when they crossed the finish line.
Did you PR?

No, I was 3 minutes behind my PR
How would you describe the course?

Gorgeous. It was such a beautiful course. It was pretty steady downhill the whole way too, the uphill portions were short and not too bad. It was a great course.
Tell us about your training.

I did almost no training before his race. Would not recommend.
What advice would you give future runners?

Train. Make sure your spectators give themselves PLENTY of time to take the shuttle and get to the finish line before get there. Temperature was very mild. I expected it to be quite a bit cooler but it was actually extremely pleasant. Was fine in shorts and a tank top without any jackets or gloves.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Hiked to Tamanawas Falls. Visited Multnomah Falls. Visited Timberline Lodge. Visited Powell’s City of Books. Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah.
