I went on Sunday morning and I arrived a little bit later than I wanted to - 10:15ish. The Grind on Sunday mornings is packed beyond belief and if I had a choice, I'd definitely do it on weekday mornings as opposed to weekends.
I finished it in just a few ticks above 56 minutes. I wasn't entirely happy with my time, but considering the amount of traffic, it was a decent first run this season. I felt pretty good until about the 3/4 mark - my body felt like I had hit a wall. I probably didn't have enough food before heading up there, or I needed Gatorade instead of plain water. When I saw the clearing, I tried to run the last 200 metres, but my legs quit after 10-15 seconds. But, there was no soreness in my thighs the next day which means I can probably go harder next time.
