Race Review: Valentine Fanconi Anemia 5K Run
The Fanconi Anemia 5K race takes place on the waterfront in Portland, Oregon but feels like a smalltown gathering. We met under one of the bridge overpasses and saw tables of homemade cinnamon rolls, chopped up bananas and lots of water waiting for us to finish our run! The bib pickup happened at the race start and was a smooth process. I had pre-purchased a pullover hoodie that fit well and was an awesome purple color. Since it was a cold and rainy morning I knew that would be much appreciated after the run! :)
The course is a nice and flat out and back - as you can see, right along the river. Lots of pedestrians surprised to see a race happening stepped out of the way and cheered as we ran by. Lots of supporters (like our co-workers shown below) had easy access to prime viewing spots.
Stowe and Jane came out to cheer Katie and I on!
What Not to Wear:
Okay... so it seemed like a good idea at the time? I'm going to say fashion fail for the capris with the argyle socks (these were just cheap knee-hi socks, not compression socks). As you can see in this photo, by the end of the race the socks were beginning to sag which led to the just below the knee peek of my very white skin. :P
