~:[CH12 - Day 89]:~ Survival
Today was the first of three survival workouts. It's always interesting to see who is able to last through the entire workout. Typically, this workout favors the 1600+ athletes, however, this time around, there were a good chunk of 800 athletes. This workout has become increasing challenging as the grit of many athletes I have had decreased. Today made me wonder if the grit has returned. This group of athletes battled. A few thought of quitting early, but they all continued on and two even hit every single split. While this workout doesn't always show who will be my best athletes, it often shows who are the toughest, especially when it comes to mentality. As we make the step up to the second round, I wonder how many athletes will accept and complete the challenge. I am increasingly confident that more and more of these athletes will have what it takes to survive. Today they showed the spark and I hope that it leads to lighting a flame within each of them that helps them find that burning desire to reach the very end of these challenging workouts. Only time will tell who will be the few that survive.
