Grouse Grind Post

a)  Describe the physiological response of your body to the exercise (heart rate? breathing rate? capillary dilation? body temperature? muscular fatigue? what hurt?  what was your limiting factor - why couldn't you go faster?)

     The Grouse Grind was definitely a challenge. My body temperature went warm as I  running up, it was definitely tiring and my legs mostly my thigh area were hurting the most. Unfortunately I didn't make it all the way up I only went half way. When I was running up my heart rate was increasing by a lot. Also walking down was pretty dangerous because I kept tripping on the rocks and I almost fell pretty badly.  

b)  You have cut and paste notes about the 3 energy systems - what energy systems were you using during the grouse grind and how do you know?  (hint: more than one!)

I was using Aerboic and Anerboic, I was using Aerboic because  when I was running up the mountain I used all my energy going up and I was also using Anerboic because when I reached have way I completely ran out of energy. I also started feeling sick.
