I really enjoyed this event. A friend and I decided to run this together. With it being so flat it’s fairly difficult to keep from going out too fast. It was a beautiful setting and a gorgeous downhill start. I have pictures ! The sun was shining, the weather was cool. Not knowing what to expect I was a little concerned that it may be fairly windy, but was greeted with only the gentlest of breezes. I’d frozen my bottle half full, then filled up the bottle on my way out the door. Luckily I had cold electrolyte fluid through mile 11, supplementing with water on the course.

The course was gorgeous! People waterskiing, beautiful homes, horses, a dog kennel, lots of agriculture – it was incredible! The shade was a problem for us. Had a great finish with our names announced as we crossed the finish, got extra loud cheers from other Portland fitters and thoroughly enjoyed our strawberry shortcake.
