Spinspiration


When I talked to Peter today the confirmation was complete at least for me it was. Although our Branch Manager hasn’t experienced the phenomena of Doherty firsthand he knows that you can’t put up the numbers Tripper does with the consistency over time and not be the singular talent he is. 

That’s nice to know that a manager of Pete’s caliber respects what we know intuitively. It also gives me satisfaction that what happens in the Lavender Palace translates into inspirational stories like Dana and Maureen taking themselves on the road and challenging their deepest resolve to compete in Triathlons of their own. These things don’t just happen unless they have an epiphany that tells them they can accomplish something that was never even on the landscape of their mind map. They hear the voice of Tripper and it spurs them to move beyond what any pedal stroke could.   Doherty is not carved out of any mold one might expect would be required to make a spin instructor par excellence but then again it’s all about results not just technique. 

Cycle for Survival will be upon us before you know it and with the talented lineup Equinox has it will surely help raise more dollars for research than the remarkable sum last years event produced.  And it’s members like we have that are not only generous but committed to make 2012 a memorable one.

Any word who will be showcased? Last year Carolyn was surprised that she was not asked to participate. Someone should suggest that they invite her. You KNOW she is an awesome talent!

I am not privy to such information. Kristen I believe will make that decision as Group Area Fitness Manager. We can only hope that our favorite is picked. I am biased and agree that Carolyn Mellace is a great choice, however we will have to wait until the lineup is revealed.

I am sure that both Tripp an Carolyn will be asked to be in the cycle for survival. And also think about principles before personalities.
