A vs. the training session

"What have you got on the go today?"

"Lots of things. Plus I have a training session at three."

"Lots of things. Plus I have the training session at three."


I don't see why either one is wrong. Both are correct. "A training session" implies that I am not sure if you know that I have a training session. In any case, I am reminding you of it.


"The training session" means that you definitely know the session I am referring to. It's that session and it's at three.


Makes sense?

Thanks. Okay. Let's change "training session" to "trip" or "social event". Is the understanding with articles correct?
