Journey Up The Peak

Amanda Sellers, one of our awesome Seek the Peak participants, blogged about her journey up the Grouse Grind this past Saturday in Vancouver for Seek the Peak! And we just couldn't help sharing it with you! For all of you out there who are wondering what it might be like to partake in Seek the Peak, here's your chance to get a glimpse of the miraculous trail many supporters trek up yearly to raise funds for Rethink Breast Cancer!

How was your Sunday???!!! When I awoke this morning, I was surprisingly NOT sore at all from yesterday’s race. I obviously wasn’t pushing hard enough. I know I could have ran most of it, but since I haven’t really trained for trail running up a mountain, I took the whole thing very easy. I would LOVE to train for it and actually really give it next year!

Here was me eager and DRY yesterday morning before the race.

I got to Ambleside pretty early so I could pick up my race pack and stretch and sit in the car trying to stay dry until the race started.

Runners getting ready for the challenge!

I did however jump outta my truck to grab one of these Rethink Breast Cancer sweatbands.

Group Stretch!

Need some early morning climb up a mountain fuel?

As soon as the race started, Kelli and I were basically soaked!

Did I finish the race? I had my head cam with me and I made a little video.. Watch to find out if I actually crossed the finish line ;)

YAY! That was fun. The viking in me came out and got me through it…haha! I must say I have had a really fantastic weekend (despite the rather drab weather). How about that thunder last night??? My puppy Painter was NOT liking it!

Let’s get ready for a kick butt week ahead.
