first and last time Grinding?

so I meet up with Ivy and her friend, Pauline, at Waterfront 9am

took a seabus to North Van ( which i havn't taken since... elementary?)

then we took 236 bus to Grouse Mountain.. and it was all fine.. like going on a field trip~~
(as we took the ride, we were actually planning to go to ubc after for badminton? or swimming? or Capilano Bridge?...etc etc
all these plans were shattered after we reached the top...umm maybe not so much for Ivy.. coz she is a super woman!! hahahah)


and the weather is really cool today, so i thought it's going to be a fun hike

we got there...get off the bus... and saw two wolves on the mountain!!!

"OMG!!!" We ran toward the wolves.. but the closer we got, the more disappointed we were XD

they are behind wire bars...oh darn..it's a Timber Wolf Habitat...not wild

anywaz.. took us a while to find the entrance..and so we started on our journey @ 10:23am

but the sad thing is.. i already start panting after 10 mins? of steep hike

oh btw this whole Grouse Griding is nothing to Ivy hahah...

臉不紅，氣不喘

but yeah.. i have dragged everyone down a lot XD|||| so sooooooolie~
(though I got a long stomach cramp for the first half of the hike)

We didn't finish until ~12:45 pm... but that's also because we had a little photo shoot on the 3/4 way up haha XD
(So LE~~ lol! )

pretending to be rock climbing (no, iz not tug-a-war XD )

when i got home at 6
(went to ubc first to get the new agenda...and there were ppl cosplaying!! there was a big japnese manga convention going on in SUB w/ almost everyone cosplaying into naruto, one-piece...etc )

the first thing i did was standing on a scale...

.....

....

darn~~ nothing changed!! ( i did all that 2 hours for nothing!? )

so i went to take a shower.. then visit the scale once more...

whew~ 0.4 kg less... okay that's more like it!!!

I don't think I will do Grouse Grind again... unless i feel like torturing myself...
(but it won't be too bad to torture myself once per year lol.. considering I actually get something out of it)

my legs are ready to detach from my body any moment now~ wohoooo~

but now, i've finally completed two things on my "resolution list"

(tick) Columbia Icefield
(tick) Grouse Grind

ps. Grouse Mountain also has Zipline tour.. but Whistler has so much better pricing~

Grouse - 1hr 15min @ 70CAD
Whistler - 3hrs @ 99CAD
