Bally Personal Training Session

This morning I suited up and hit Bally at 6am for my free personal training with Xenia, a sparky Arroyo '09 grad who works two days in a dental office and three days as a personal trainer. 

It took her 25 minutes and a few pieces of cheap exercise equipment to kick my butt!! I'm going to be SO SORE tomorrow!!

Squats, sit-ups -- simple things. But it was mostly a pitch to sell personal training sessions @ $50 a pop -- no can do (sigh).

I told her I was training for a triathlon and her jaw dropped, both before and after I explained about Sprint Tri. Seems that NO ONE knows what it is!! Popular wisdom is that a triathlon = Ironman. But that just ain't so. 

And she did sign up to be on the DIODT email list (which I'm still setting up) and may join us 6/28/14!

I couldn't stop thinking about Miriam, who would make an amazing personal trainer. How much could a certificate be anyway? I'd love to see her doing that kind of work...
