Paper 's thoughts:

This is a race I have run several times --only because I live here. Portland is a great city, and it is too bad that the course for this race is so damn ugly. Most of the race is a long, long stretch along an industrial area. Warehouses on one side, deserted train tracks on the other. Can we say ugly *and* boring? You get very few glimpses of how awesome Portland and its residents are... at the beginning and toward the end of the race. But most of the race is a stick-forks-in-your-eyes boring. About as boring as the t-shirt (whose design has not been changed AT ALL for EVER, because of the stubbornness of the race director). Did I say the course was ugly and boring?
