Describe your race day.

I was disappointed and surprised by how few spectators there were! There were fewer people at the finish line that at local 5 k races I've run. It was very difficult to get to the finish location. Very few people to cheer you on along the race. Needs to be at a different location next year. Enjoyed running through the trees, route was beautiful. Did not like running on that main road without traffic control (a lane blocked). I thought the start time was a little too early.
Did you PR?

Yes!
How would you describe the course?

Scenery was beautiful. Grade and elevation were good.
Tell us about your training.

Ran the 1/2. For me, it's just get out and run.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I have friends who live in Portland. We went up the tram, biked around the city, boating on the river.
