Iron Girl Spinervals Video Tapping with Coach Troy Jacobson was GREAT! (www.irongirl.com),(www.Spinervals.com), (www.coachtroy.com)
The tapping session started at 9:00a and ended around 1:30p.
The Interview
1st they did one on one interviews for us to tell about our self in 15sec and then a 45 sec story of how we became triathlete's and to inspire the women that watch the video. I don't remember what I said during the interview phase but it was quick and I truly hope they edit it out. I don’t believe what I said was all that great but it’s on tape now. They had to retake my shot 4 times and each time the story changed around. :o(
The Tapping
Before tapping the Coach told all the girls to show their personalities, and Judy the casting person said "Personality was not listed as a prerequisite" I had to chuckle at that, because Judy was one nice lady but also powerful and tough.
The original format was 10 women on trainers and 2 on spinners. The trainers didn't get delivered as planned. Coach Troy trainers were on an airplane being held hostage on the tarmac. They changed the layout of the 1st tapping. They had 2 spin cycles and one trainer. I was a signed to a spinner for my tapping session was bummed about that but didn't protest. Some of the other women did so they made some adjustments for them. I was in Group 4 where it was a quick intense workout changing gears but for only 10mins. Some of the women left after their tapping, they thought they were through with tapping but wasn't and since I was hanging around and Tina was also we got to be in another session which was the very intense level 5 for 10 min. This time they said I can be on my bike which I jumped up for joy and screamed out YEAH! The production lady said “I knew that would make you happy”. I think she over heard me talking about Kay not being immortalized in the video because I was on a spinner. :o) The crew was soo nice; we weren't getting paid so they weren't even upset that the women left. There were another 12 women waiting to be filmed for the next section of the video, they were covered with cyclist.
On my last session, since it was a very intense training session, Coach Troy asked me not to smile and to look mean and like I'm working really hard. I told him I would try but it would be very hard to do because I'm just soo stoked at this moment. I don't know if I accomplished that goal.
For the last tapping of the video they had to call a Coach in
Coach Troy also referred to us as Team Iron Girls, so I'm official and it's on tape. I’m an IRON GIRL!!!
I didn't get a goody bag, but I'm hoping it will come in the mail with the video.
My 5 minutes of fame.
