The Nutcracker



Who says that the music in the Lavender Palace has to be AT 40 or Rock ‘n Roll? Apparently our new spin instructor K2 doesn’t think so. She has shaken things up a bit and mixed into the discography Opera yes you heard it Opera. And there couldn’t be a more innovative approach in my opinion. It would hardly be in our province to question her selections being a music teacher and a virtuoso violinist to boot.  

Now I know very little about Opera except maybe Peter Rabbit and The Nutcracker and I could have sworn she played the latter this morning at 6 am but in fact it was: In the Hall of the Mountain King. Sounded familiar but far be it for me to actually know the title. This selection was perfectly designed for a climb and speed interval with a fresh auditory. She’s on to something and I want more. 

That 6 am slot is for the hard-core spin enthusiast and not well attended but Finello as I looked around garnered a respectable showing when most of us myself included are still in the somnolent state. However I have to tell you that there’s a great feeling to be finished with exercise before 7 am when most of the membership is either on the road, still in bed or just sauntering into the club. Now that most classes are but 45 minutes it’s a flash and you’re done. The 4% solution now has become the 3% solution. Three per cent of our day could not be spent better and if I can find that old discipline maybe I make it in to the 6 am more often. Uh yeah no.  

Well maybe it wasn’t The Nutcracker but I did feel a little nuts and definitely cracked.
