CoT: Workouts like this are good practice for training our resilience.
This workout may have been discouraging when you heard the team next to you was ahead of you and/or you realized you are only halfway through and you aren’t sure you can finish. But, we all stuck with it and finished. Resilience is the ability to stick with it despite hardship, discouragement, and setbacks. Recognize it in yourself and others, and cultivate this positive character trait as best you can.
