Flying With Superwoman


What can I say about Michelle Corso that’s different than my last ride with her?  This class is my ultimate challenge because Michelle’s fitness is beyond comprehension. I looked askance at her leg speed and what I saw was the ‘strobe effect’. She was moving so fast it looked like her pedal stroke was moving backwards. I decided to just concentrate on keeping cadence with the rhythm of the road which was a lesson in concentration because after acceleration I have a tendency to lose focus but here in the Corso Zone I know better.

 I just don’t want to disappoint myself when Michelle is putting in the effort she does. It’s a strange phenomenon. When I tell myself that I am going to take it easy because I have rode 7 days in a row and I deserve a break it never works out that way. No matter what it’s the same deal at rides end. My shirt is soaked to the skin, my shorts look like I just took a shower in them and I can see my face in the three pools of sweat on the floor.  This might be just my own fanaticism but it’s more than that these spin stars bring out the athlete in us every morning, noon and night. 

I have so many favorites in the CS and CSI (Corso Spin Inspiration) is just one that moves me beyond what I think I can do. She is indefatigable and moves like a perpetual motion machine. Hey do you notice she doesn’t even take a drink?
