“The workout (Chad) stands for more than just one man,” @sarawilkinson7 — wife of the late Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson — said. “The workout is dull and monotonous, and so is life. And it is not technical, so when the reps blur into one another, you can ask yourself, ’What do you think about? Or who do you think about?”

The individual athletes gathered at Dickies Arena on Saturday morning to compete in Individual Event 5 — the Hero workout Chad.

The 1,000 step-ups for time gave athletes up to 67 uncomfortable minutes to reflect.

At the sound of the buzzer, athletes began the climb, their eyes only focused on each step. There was no need to even look over your shoulder at the competitors to your side. It would be hard to tell what rep they were on anyway.

@spraguerrrr 🇺🇸 was the first man to finish at 43:59, and @emily_rolfe19 🇨🇦 was the first woman to finish, logging a time of 47:01.
