Kristen Unplugged


Once in a Wolf’s Moon we’ve lost power at EQ. Yesterday was one of those days. Although the high priestess of false security; electricity was restored the after affects left the Lavender Palace’s sound system imitating an Ocean Liner sounding its fog signal.  

The net of this technological snafu left us without one of the key components for Saturday KSC no music. No mike and no music. There’s no doubt spinning to music is key but its really about the instructor who can pull off a great class without accompaniment. 

Kristen may not realize that this was no greater inconvenience than running out of milk with our sleeve of Oreo’s.  No big deal and we wish this was our worst challenge of the week. And BTW KJ does not need a mike she has a clear channel voice with no need of amplification. 

In fact without the sound of music we heard what we never hear in the CS and that is the flywheel a heavy metallic sound that made its own music especially when KJ called for a breakaway or sprint. 

At rides end I still had the same pool of water underneath my bike and I was breathless and in the anaerobic state just as much as if Robin Thicke or Katy Perry were belting out the number 1 and 2 songs on Billboard’s hot 100. Don’t get me wrong I love spinning to KJ’s playlist but today was a reminder why we come and that’s to workout with the Queen of Spin: Kristen James. 

Happy Birthday to Cindy and all I can say is: WOW!
