So part of participating in Hood to Coast is covering Hood to Coast. Each year Matt Zaffino does his weather broadcasts in between his running legs. It says a lot about his conditioning. While the rest of our team took a break between our first set of legs, Matt showered and headed to the East Bank Esplanade for our 5pm and 6pm broadcasts.

Below are some pictures. If you've ever wondered what the other side of your television screen l...



Life In a Hood to Coast Van

We're 1/3 of the way there! What a morning. So blogging along the way was a little tough. Cell service is spotty through much of the Mt. Hood area. I can tell you it's been so much fun. Part of the fun is life in the van. It started so clean organized and full of "new car scent". Now it's full of "runner's scent" and "gummy feet". Clearly we're getting a little punchy.

The ride is actually pretty comfortable. As a rookie I was wo...

We are officially running. At 9:15 this morning KGW Running Footage started pounding pavement toward Seaside. Michelle Ruark from KGW Sales drew leg one..it's solid downhill quad busting from Timberline to Government Camp. Brad Zellick from KGW Sales is up next. I won't even tell you how he's preparing. Some things are better left unsaid on Hood to Coast. See you soon. Gotta conserve laptop battery. Before I go, we have to give a quick th...



Blogging From Hood to Coast (Part 3)

Sorry for the delayed posting. This afternoon I was in Sky 8 covering a fire in Clackamas County. When I wasn't focused on the flames, the vantage point from Sky 8 gave me a great opportunity to see how beautiful this area really is. It was a such a great day for a flight. Now just one week from race day, I can't wait to see our great state leg by leg.

Having only lived in Portland for two years now, there is much I haven't seen or e...

Blogging From Hood to Coast(Part 2)

We're just over a week a week away and I don't know about any of the other runners, but I'm starting to stress about packing. With this being my first H2C, I'm talking to everyone about often overlooked items that really make a difference during the race. Rich Kurz, our special projects producer, brought up baby wipes for a quick post run "shower". Very wise Mr. Kurz. Matt Zaffino reminded me to ...

Blogging From Hood To Coast (Part 1)

So begins the first installment of Blogging From Hood To Coast. Starting today and continuing every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, we'll talk relay running. I'm the first to admit I am as novice as a runner as they come. That's where this blog comes in. I'm looking for veteran advice, concerns of other beginners and some encouragement that I can actually finish all three legs.

I started r...
