Grouse Grind

     The grouse grind was physiologically challenging  just as physically. My musses felt extremely fatigued , chock full of lactic acid and quite literally I thought i'd never never reach the top. some moments I was using my arms to push me up , rather than a crawl. The burn was pretty intense however when I made it I was relived and ecstatic when I reached the top at the cafe and saw everyone there. the teachers smiling. What really affected me was my breaks I should have kept a constant pace. Once I stopped that's when the lactic acid took its most affected as it demotivated myself to keep going.  

   Some factors I kept note of was my heart rate. I found that Taking smaller steps had less strain and larger steps had more and took more oxygen. My body  temperature felt really hot. I was sweaty and red like a tomato. my veins where coming closer to the surface because it was cooler.

Out of the 3 energy systems two where being used areobic and anaerobic gylocides. This is because the activity was enduring sustaining it for a long period of time as well as gylocieds because we had to use large parts of our mussules which needed to take time to recover
