I set my personal record this past monday - 47:36. I still can't comprehend how some elite grinders are capable of finishing in the mid to high 20s.
i've found that my 10k run time and my grouse grind time are within 60 seconds of each other. i'm curious if any other runners are in the same boat.

holy crap you're right. My sun run time was 51min something seconds; quite close!
There was a time around 2004 that I'd often do the GG alone early on Saturday mornings. I realized that the 1st quarter obviously took the longest, as my heart and muscles were still getting up to speed. I found that by doing a short run before doing the Grind (about 3 km), dramatically cut down the lag of the 1st quarter. Kinda like turbo lag lol.
