The ¾ Mark
I can do this. I was miserable,
but this latest sign had given my
spirit a much-needed boost. I was
almost at the top. Who cares that
my legs were trembling, or that the
steps had taken on a severe verti-
cality? If I could make it this far,
I could finish. One, two, one two,
I counted in my head. Every step
taken was one closer to the end of
this experience. One two, one two.
The end
I don't think there's anything
sweeter than seeing the horizon.
e blue sky filled me with a sense
of purpose, re-energizing my
depleted body and spurring
me forward. As I staggered
towards the end, the pain of the
last hour and four minutes faded
away. e juice was worth the
squeeze, if you will. And later, as
I shared a post-Grind beer with
Tommy, I felt a deep sense of
accomplishment. I had done the
Grouse Grind.
You don't walk it. You don't
hike it. You do it.
