I think I get it now. There has been in my mind an arcane magic as to why Dana Mancini was able to get more effort out of me than I could ever conceive of in spin class. I shook it off at first as just being attributed to her personality, which is charismatic and humble which almost seems anachronistic. I mused that’s why I kept coming back. Her music is eclectic which I love because she reaches back in time before her time to play selections that stir my memory banks. But this morning I pinpointed with specificity what it is about her that does it for me.
Whenever she guides us during an interval I always know I am giving my maximum effort and with her patented “close your eyes” she then breaks down the interval in to two parts. The first part has us stepping up the resistance and speed. And that by its lonesome works fantastic. However she takes it one step further. With eyes closed she goes to work on the power of our mind over the pedal stroke. With say 15 seconds left she asks for more effort, harder, faster and magically that arcane magic I break through to some other level I never knew was there. Seemingly so esoteric but that’s what encapsulates it as to why Mancini draws the crowd she does now. Okay we like her a lot too. And I know we are saying our prayers for her Grand as she goes through her health challenges
When I looked at the “Book a Bike” icon on my EQ app Tuesday night it was the tandem of Kristen and Dana that had the dreaded: No Bikes Left. I hate to admit it but it’s the women that provide the biggest draw at EQ. Whether it be the Evil Woman; KJ, Dana, K2; Kristen Finello or The Blue Sapphire; Carolyn Mellace they all bring their singular talents and that is why we show up.
Arcane Magic it’s the phrase that best describes this lithesome young woman Dana Mancini. And that Secret 730 ain’t a secret anymore.
