Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So maybe ice bath...swearing a lot...drain the bath and then hot bath? Would that negate the ice bathing?
Probably. But I felt really on fire warm when I was done -- I didn't need anything other than a big fluffy robe.
just have your spouse buy lots of ice and fill up the bathtub at home?
Lacking a spouse, I bought the ice myself. Two 7lb bags dumped into a cold bath, and jump (okay, lower myself angrily) into it right away.

Okay that will maybe be me on Saturday afternoon. suddenly the whole running of the race part of Saturday seems so much easier..
Also, lisah, you only have to go as far as sitting in the ice water. ita goes and gets herself beat up all over, so she has to go all the way in.

That's true! Unless I fall over.
Fruitbats.
I'd much prefer to be creaky and use that as an excuse to sleep, like my dad did.
How long do you stay in the ice water?

I don't need excuses to sleep. I need time.
I stayed in about five to eight minutes. After three it gets much easier.

...because your entire body has gone numb?

that's what I'm thinking.
The day after (and of, frankly) a marathon, our house echoed with my dad's snoring. Our friends would come over, suddenly see or hear him and start trying to be quiet. We told them not to bother. He'd be dead to the world. Until one of his snorts woke him up.
