Following google maps on the phone from hotel to permanent course start.

Sydney: "Is portland hilly?"
Kevin: "Im not sure, all i can see is buildings"
Kevin 35:08 later: "Yup, hilly"

Permanent course at Hoyt Arboretum by CROC. Instead of control markers it had MC questions to answer at each CP. Not my favorite, but great that they make it work instead of not having it at all, so I'll take it!

Course notes said to stay on trails, so it had an urban sprint feel. I started getting pretty winded around control 6, and bobbled 7 and 13. It was hard to read all the trails at speed, and the hills were just killing me. Prologue to pittsburgh!

Really fun course and the park was just beautiful. Only saw a handful of people too.

A slow trot back. I was afraid my phone was going to die so i took the most straightforward path that I thought I could remember the whole way. Also tried to take it slow to minimize impact on the downhills since i havent been road running much.
