Great Urban Race Portland - 1st Coed, 5th Overall

So today, June 23rd, I started the day waking up in the dorm at Gonzaga University and then packed up from my week long stay coaching team camp and boarded a plane to get to Portland in time for the Great Urban Race.  My plane was to get in just after 10 am and the race registration started at 11, good thing my plane was on time.  Bad for me, it was a bumpy ride so I arrived a bit nauseous. Because I was gone all week, this was the first race that I did no prep for the race and told Will it was his job to do all the research for and prepare us.  A little scary because the start was in NE Portland, an area neither one of us are very familiar with.  After a bumpy flight and then a bumpy race, we somehow finished 5th overall and 1st coed team with a time of 2:15.  Read the full race recap below.

CityScape Adventures Portland - 1st Coed, 2nd Overall

On Saturday, June 16th, we participated in the CityScape Portland and despite a bridge lift and major texting issues we managed to get second place.  This year the race organizers had us text answers in to get the next clue and well, let's just say with our pay as you go throw away phones it was a bit more challenging.  See the race recap for full details and photos.
