So the Deboer family, Sherrie and I decided to do the grind again. We got there around 11:30 and headed up the mountain. Everyone started off quite a bit quicker than Sherrie and I but knew what to expect and didn't want to use up all my energy right away. At about the first quarter I ended up on my own. Luckily I brought my i pod with me so I had some music to help keep me motivated. I really tried to keep moving for the most part but I stopped for about 30 seconds at every quarter to catch my breath and have a drink. I didn't want to waste too much time standing around as I really wanted to beat my time of 1 hour 8 minutes from Saturday. The last quarter was definatly the toughest for me as it's the steepest and by that time my legs were burning and I was exausted. I got through it and ended up making it up in 1 hour 5 minutes. I thought my time was going to be better but I know I did my best so I was satisfied with it. Now I just have to try it again so I can make that 1 hour.
These are everyone times which were all awesome!

You did awesome Jen! Three minutes is great to shave off a time like that. Some people take hours to climb that thing. You are getting stronger physically but I am loving to see your growth mentally. You are really staying motivated,working hard and being competitive with yourself that is neat to watch.
Lastly, I just have to say that as tired as we were after this climb, it really was just the start of an adventurous day:) See you tomorrow.
