Delicious darkness greeted us riders in the abbreviated 45 minute session of Mr. Tripp Doherty. We in the second tier had a warmed up Mr. Fantastic and as usual he was in rare form, yet again. There is not much that surprises me about this man except for the kinetic energy which is boundless and his charm that is magnetic. I don’t always know what he is saying I have to be truthful, but it is almost inconsequential, because it is in what he doesn’t say is where is message is clear: You can do anything if you decide you can.
Tripp is the first spin instructor to talk about the collective consciousness that is palpable in the CS. We might not tap into it living in our sensory deprived world of the i pod and mp3 players, but it’s there, oh yes and it’s so strong you can reach out and touch it. I felt it today with the rider next to me as we moved our resistance dials simultaneously without Tripp asking us to, on not once but two occasions. I felt it a third time and as I looked over my fellow female rider moved the dial again. These are not coincidences because we may live separate lives but we are connected in ways we haven’t even scratched the surface of.
I have been observing both a rising level of fitness and a sharpening of my sensory acuity. I am not as disconnected and seemingly I am more in touch with my intuition. It stands to reason that if are bodies are in tune then our minds will be more nimble as well. I look in the mirror and see the return of the athlete and I have to say that my sense of self has taken on a quiet confidence that I am putting in the footwork and the universe is taking care of the rest.
