Here is what I just submitted to "Transit Runs" for PDX Max Speedrun completed yesterday w/ @my-kylie24.bsky.social
docs.google.com/presentation...
Hoping to release a video on youtube documenting the run in the coming weeks...
Max Speedrun complete! Finished at Hatfield Govt Center @ 1:09 pm, for a time of 6:02:48.
All 95 stations in the MAX Light Rail system complete!
Welp...
The bad news is that today's speedrun has two tight connections and we missed them both. We missed our Hillsboro train by about 2 minutes.
The good news is this means we had time to head over the river one more time and get some of my favorite views of the city.
Off to Hillsboro
Finished all of the green/orange/yellow lines. Waiting to get back up to pioneer station so I can finish up the red/blue lines. 4 hrs 30 mins in so far.
Just passed OMSI on Orange line. Now done with 51 stations (and everything East of the Willamette)
Missed our connection at SE Park by about 30 seconds. Not a run ever but definitely a big setback. The next one leaves in about fifteen minutes
Made it to Clackamas Town center, finishing up the green line. On the 33 bus to the orange line now.
Made it to the end of the Blue line in Gresham. Heading back to Gateway. Making great time so far.
Red and yellow arms complete. Back at gateway TC waiting for the blue line to Graham
Posting every stop is proving too stressful.
But the update is at transferred to the red line at interstate @ 7:30, and just made it to the airport.
Heading back to gateway TC now
Rosa Parks, Killingsworth & Prescott
Delta Park, Kepton and Lombard
At Expo Center Max, about to start the attempt for speedrunning the Portland TriMet Max Rail lines. Wish me luck!
Join me (follow me here) this Tuesday 8/12 as I attempt to set a new Any% world record for speedrunning the MAX light rail system in Portland, OR
