It's 0530 local, and I'm awake and dressed. My flight back to Toronto leaves at 1330, which doesn't leave much time to do anything civilized. And so I'm off to climb Grouse Mountain instead. I'm not optimally prepared. My only footwear is a pair of worn-out Doc Martin shoes. Could be better, but I'm sure it could be much worse. If I survive I'll post my time :-).
Edit: Now at YVR, using their terribly slow free WiFi. My Grouse Grind time is 70 minutes. Not wonderful, but not terrible either. If I did it more I'd get the pacing better. I did a lot of sprint-and-rest, and I think slow-and-steady is a better route.
I still have 2 hours before my flight. Time to find some lunch!
