Mountain Grinding Madness !

Much as I loved Mum's special home cooking and the very many real beers consumed whilst at home this past month, it has done nothing clever for my waistline !!!

Taking a fresh vow therefore (now back in Canada again) to get back into the clean living, what better way to shed a few pounds then than to take on the madness of the Grouse Mountain Grind again !

(if you recall from last years blog - the grind is a suicidal climb up the side of Grouse Mountain under neath the ski access Gondola)

The plan is then............... to do this at least twice a week for the summer and to beat an hour !

Given that I am not working yet (nor will likely be for the next two months) look out you West Van soccer mom's - one fat English bloke coming through !!

This may not be pretty !

******** UPDATE**********

Don't ya just hate Australians !!! Those boys need to eat some more pies !!!

Happy with my own opening time of 51:30 (and having done this several times last year) - I was blown away by team Australia who powered in at at 50:15 ! What made it more annoying than hell was that this was even Will's virgin run, and he had no idea what he was letting himself in for !!

I shouldn't be too stressed really as as said marsupual is 7 years younger than me and has the drinking capabilities of Lindsay Logan !

Gorgeous George on the other hand who could see off Oliver Reed, George Best and Richard Harris one after the other just as a warm up, set a time more befitting his talents !!!

He still did it though top bloke !
