ok YUM on the portland beer. our girl tri group raced in portland last year--blue lake in july. it was the same weekend as the brewers festival. I bought those little wooden coins to purchase what I thought were "tastes"--except some of them were 9 percent alcohol. haven't been that drunk since college, and it wasn't on purpose! was in the porta potty trying to remember how to zip my jeans. fun times. did a 10 k
PR that weekend, sub 60 min!!!
