THURSDAY: Grouse Grind Tomorrow

9/17/2015

#TBT Throwback Thursday to last year's Grind!

The grade 6/7 students will be ascending Grouse Mountain tomorrow. The students were all discussing their goals in class today. They ranged from beating their times from last year to simply having fun with their friends. The main purpose of this field trip is to work towards your goals in addition to the physical challenge. My goal tomorrow is to complete the Grouse Grind with a smile on my face! Remember, it doesn't matter how long it takes you to get up the mountain, the main goal for all of us is to simply complete the hike! Don't forget to pack your lunch, a light rain coat, proper runners, and some snacks. Click here in the morning to see if the Grouse Grind is open or not. I will put a new post up in the morning only if it is cancelled.

Honestly I feel that sometimes Mr. Hong does not like us, making us go to the Grouse Grind. In my opinion, I don't think anyone wants to go to the Grouse Grind. Last time when I was on my way up the mountain I felt like my legs were about to give out, and that I kept telling myself that I was never ever going to do this again. But, I tend to not keep my promises, as you can see. To conclude, the Grouse Grind is he worst thing I could to do a person, have fun grade 6's! ;P

I honestly want to do the grouse grind because I wish to work at Disney Land and Disney is about exceeding expectations plus making dreams come true. The grouse grind is a tough climb but the view at the top is worth it. Thank you for the field trip Mr. Hong.

I like your enthusiasm @Marvel girl! But, when you are writing in paragraph form remember your commas, and while writing your P.A.R. remember to look back at the criteria to make sure you don't forget to include anything. Other than that I think you would make a great employee in disney land!

Thank you for the tip on paragraph writing I never was good with commas. Thank you for the Disney land support

I think it is going up the grouse grind because I like beating my goals game then setting new ones.also it feels great when you reach top of the mountain

Make sure to add capitals and punctuation. You could be a bit more descriptive and try to make it make more sense.😀

I think it will probably rain which will probably make it cold climbing up but that's ok because I will get hot from hiking anyways. I think the grouse grind is really hard and you wish it would end. But it can be fun if you do it with friends! It was fun to accomplish the grouse grind because climbing up you feel like it's a never ending mountain but T the top it's lots of fun to see the Bears and watch the lumberjack show.

my goal is to take a break at every quarter mark. but then again, that was my goal last year and I took ALOT more than 4 breaks!

Marvel girl

9/17/2015 10:13:01 pm

Wow! That is an awesome sounding goal. YOU CAN DO IT.

Azbo

9/17/2015 07:01:28 pm

My goal is to do better than my last score by at least 10 minutes but hopefully more. It feels really awesome at the top of the grind because you have such a good view and I love the area it is in because north vancouver is just awesome scenary. I think that the view is well worth the hike and it is totally worth the cheeseburger you can buy at the top I can't wait.

Tomorrow I hope that I'll beat my time which is 1:30. It feels SO good when you get to the top and you can relax for as long as you want. I regret doing the Grouse Grind every single time but when you get to the top you feel happy that you made it to the top.

To be honest, I do and don't like the Grouse Grind. I really enjoy doing the hike because I get to do it with friends and I love that feeling of accomplishment when you reach the very top and see people cheering you on. I don't enjoy it because my legs get really sore from it and sometimes it seems never ending. Also because, I have soccer practice right after so that's not going to go well... One other thing I love is those beautiful views you get to see. And I am very greatful that my Nana is doing the Grouse Grind with me. She is so healthy and fit. One tip I have for the Grade 6's is don't start running up the mountain. You will lose all your energy and feel tired by the half way point and then those people that are taking their sweet own time will catch up to you and not be as tired. To end, this is what I think of the Grouse Grind. I wish everyone the best of luck and I'll see you guys tomorrow!

I'm very excited about the the Grouse grind and I wonder what my time will be, when I reach the top of the mountain. I wonder what all of your times will be? Who will be at the top of the mountain first!!! I hope we all do and have lots of fun, see you tomorrow!!! :)

The first time I went on the grouse grind I thought it would never end.I just kept going and going and going but when I saw the 1/4 mark a huge sigh of relief left my shoulders.When I was at the 1/2 mark it was a sudden miracle.Then when I reached the top I was so glad it was like winning your first ever sports game it was such a great experince and the nature around us was so beautiful.Thank you so much Mr.Hong for taking us on this wonderful experince.I will get to do it all over again tomorrow.

This is my third time going up the mountain the first time I went my friends and I reached the top of the mountain I was so happy to make it to the top my time was 1:56 though. My second time was way faster I got up for 1:13. My goal for this time is 50 min, I'll be hiking up the with Julio and when I get to go to the top I want to see the bears because I didn't see it last year but I did see the lumber jack show and I will bring some money this time. See you all tomorrow!

I didn't get to see the bear the last 2 times so I am hoping I will see them this time!

This is my 3rd time doing the Grouse Grid and I m so exited because I cant wait until I see the "Your almost there sign'' (or what ever it says.) Last time I did the grind I finished just under 2 hours but this time I am aiming for 1 hr 10 mins or less because I know I can do it .Tomorrow I will look up at the mountain and say ''this is easy'' as I did the first 2 times but when I am doing the grind I will be thinking ''THIS IS NOT EASY''!

I went on the website and everything had a closed icon including the Grouse Grind. So is it open?

Pebbles

9/18/2015 07:15:54 am

I have never used that website so I am unsure and I may be wrong.

I'm exited for the Grouse Grind on Friday this is my third time doing it. I hope that it will be easier this time just because I'm more in shape. My goal is to see if i can get under 1 hour and Fourty four minutes. I hope that I can take less breaks this year( even though i think Im going to more breaks.) But I just hope that i have fun and make it to the top and be proud of my self.
