Being in van 1 gives you a substantial head start on post-race drinking. Something to think about.

Yes, I hear Portland is sold out of vans. I am the sole PacNW person in the mix and have been hit up to get vans in Seattle. although I am considering spending the week before the race on the coast and thinking maybe I can get vans in Cannon Beach or Seaside or some such place.
And yes, again, from my past experiences in similar races in NorCal and NE, earlier finished and earlier to hitting the bottle is preferential to doing the last leg, notwithstanding the fanfare (which last leg I have done 2x).
