Pat stopped by my office yesterday proudly wearing his Portland Marathon finisher medal and had a confession of a serious race mistake. He didn't read the instructions correctly and instead of putting the timing tag on his shoe, he put the timing tag instructions on his shoe (pictured). Race timing tags come in all shapes and sizes nowadays and that's an easy mistake to make, even for a veteran like Pat. He might have avoided it following my race day prep tips. Poor Pat finished with no official time and no announcement of his name at the finish line.
