Notes
Took it so super slow -- relaxed, easy. But severe undertraining meant that my quads began complaining in mile 4, then shut down by mile 20. I started doing some walking on the approach to the bridge in mile 17. I LOVED the music groups and funny signs that the spectators were holding. The view just as you make a right turn onto the St Johns bridge was just stunning.
I am glad I cleared 5 hours (whew!), but would rather run halves for the foreseeable future. Oh, and I left Eugene at 3:30am and got to Portland at 5:30am and got a great parking space 3 blocks from the start! I even dozed a bit in the car before the start.
