So Sunday was the half marathon in Portland. It had been raining the previous days but Sunday turned out pretty good for a race.
Extra security was in place. I wasn't concerned but it is nice to see.
Lots of people in place too! My pace dictated which corral I would start. This is the line in front of me. It took me 17 minutes to get to the start line!
This was the line behind me!
Crossing the Hawthorne bridge. Do you notice the carpet?
There was rock n roll bands playing about every 2 miles and lots of encouragement along the way. I loved this poster that someone tacked up on the route.
We were in line for our free beer here and through the crowd was the main stage with
Andy Grammar playing.
I was thrilled to beat my fastest time by 3 minutes!!
Here's a fun video if you want to see some Portland highlights:
