Describe your race day.

Woke up at 2:20 to catch the bus from Portland, then waited 90 minutes in the cold to start at 5:30. The support along the race was AWESOME!
Did you PR?

No. 10 minutes slower than my pr.
How would you describe the course?

Not all downhill.
Tell us about your training.

I run 1/2 marathon distance or more 2-3 times once a month. I’m training for my 3rd full in October. I am a half fanatic so this distance is not new for me. :) it’s my favorite distance.
What advice would you give future runners?

It’s not a fast downhill course at the 1/2 distance. It is a gradual slope but not a fast downhill.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Portland post race beers. Hood river too.
