The ones that go the distance have the ability to convey frustrations, vent emo- tions, verbalize their feelings, and not take things personally. All of this contributes to the capacity to move forward with purpose instead of spiralling into self-destructive overreactions.” Season 10 of Amazing Race Can- ada debuts July 2 on CTV. com
