Grouse Grind Post!

During the grouse grind I had many different feeling in my body, it actually felt like I was doing many activities even though I was just walking up. It felt like my legs and hips were really contracting and working together to push me harder. The climb up the mountain was very hard it required a lot of energy and also a lot of will power, during the climb I realized that when i kept a steady pace it helped my body to cope with the climb and did not make me want to stop and any point or slow down, but when I started to speed or go faster I felt my body shutting down on me and in a way telling me to keep a specific pace going, and when I did do so it assisted me in time and shortened the breaks. Judging from my experience doing the Grouse Grind the energy system my body was using was the anaerobic glycolysis, because while I was changing speeds I felt that I could only continue for 30 seconds - 2 minutes and it decreased my function, but during my regular movement I experienced the aerobic energy system as my body was enduring a lot while my heart rate was increasing and cellular respiration was present. Overall when i did the grouse grind I did it in 1 hour and 7 minutes.
