Spin Success

Thursday I did back to back spin classes without having a coronary afterwards. I don't know who was more surprised about it me or the instructor. I had told the instructor before the first class that I was going to attempt both. He was like ok but if you have to leave that's fine, don't push it. During the first class one of the girls left part way through the class, the only thing he did was look over to where I was to see if it was me who had left. At the end of the second class he came over to check to see how I was doing. Like I said earlier I don't' know who was more surprised I had lasted both classes. I guess that means now I have no excuse to complain about that class anymore. There was one funny moment during the second class he yelled at us to 'challenge' ourselves by increasing the tension. Just before he said that I had turned the tension down about a quarter of a turn. I thought he had saw what I had done, I then realized he was looking at 3 or 4 Americans at the back of the class who had been talking the entire class. I was thinking "Shit, this is the first time I've done back to back classes and he's telling us to 'challenge' ourselves. Challenge this Buddy"

The best part was that I slept like a log that night. I went to bed before 9pm and slept til after 10:30 the next morning. I'll have to remember to do a double class the next time I want a good nights sleep. Since I don't sleep on airplanes I'll have to do that the day I leave for Canada.
