FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE TODAY!!! I will tell about that in a moment. I normally cross train on Wednesdays because they are the day after speed work. Last night I also played ultimate frisbee so after all the lifting and speed work and UF my legs were hurting. My coach wanted me to get about 50 mins of cross training so I swam 50 laps. It actually took me 45 minutes but I was good with that. While I was swimming a guy got in my lane and was going faster. I couldn't allow him to pass me so I sped up for the last 12 or so laps. It was actually a pretty good workout! I held him off :) Then came the FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE! I went to the training room and did some foam rolling, sat on a tennis ball for a bit and then stretched. Foam roller and/or tennis ball = PAIN. Anyways, after that I prepared my ice bath. I added ice until it was 55 degrees which is pretty dang cold. I got in up to my stomach as usual. My upper body though was also sore so I decided to get the smaller stool. I THEN SUBMERGED MY WHOLE BODY UP TO MY NECK! It was so friggin cold! I began to shiver uncontrollably and could only stay in fully for a few minutes. After I got out I felt like I would never feel warmth ever again. It was a pretty interesting experience! |
