The ceremony of getting in the class can overshadow the actual spin class. What I mean to say is that getting into the class takes precedence over (at least in the mind) of what we put our bodies through if we are lucky enough to get into her time slot. If there were an unlimited number of bikes what would KSC be like? Have you ever given any thought to that? When I am online and I am a microsecond behind logging in I know I will be sitting here as I am for the final 10 positions. But suppose I didn’t have to go through the literal excitement in front of the computer of waiting for the roulette wheel to stop and reveal: You’re In! Or Online Reservations are Full.
I suppose that some of the fun about the nervousness we feel would disappear but would that make any difference? Psychologically it might. But just how did we get to the mysteria* for Kristen’s class in particular when to be frank there are other times where we could choose any bike in the CS with another instructor? Well that answer is simple enough it’s the talent and we have described that in graphic detail in the near 100 posts of this blog. But what about the “how” (online or in person) we get into the class coupled with the actual class. Do they become interdependent upon each other? Interesting for me at least to speculate about. The “chicken” came first because the class is so damn good but the “egg” of getting into the class becomes a thing of beauty in itself.
I asked Bonnie and she said that it wouldn’t make any difference if there were an unlimited number of bikes but she loves the competition of the signing up process but it was how you chose to deal with the disappointment of not getting in and being able to accept it or not was the key. My attitude is if I get in online GREAT but if I don’t I can always sit here and write about it.
P.S.
That music selection on Wednesday was that GREAT or what?
