Ice bath feels great AFTER you get out;) Really seems to make a difference the next day.

Good half, David. It will be interesting to see if and how it affects your marathon.

Way to go David. Sorry I missed you at the expo. I hung around for quite a while but ended up chatting my head off and feeling guilty about not being at work.

You did great at the 1/2 this past weekend!! Didn’t look like the heat affected you much considering not being acclimated! WOW…have fun at the Pig and tell the FF Cincy (Jeremy and Susan) folks I said hello!! Cannot wait to hear how that race goes.

Oh – how did Chris do with his monkey? Seems to me that it would rub the inside of his arms!

How did the ice bath work? I know that getting in a cold pool helped me recover big time from pacing Bob last October, but I’ve never had the guts for putting ice in a bath tub.

Nice race – you splits look very even when you match it up with the elevation.. looks like you locked in to an even effort. You will do great on Sunday!! Good luck!

Nice race, David! This will be quite an interesting experiment, to see how a solid HM 8 days before a marathon affects you. And yeah, plan C did happen for you…way to flex.

My guess is that the hill work will help you in the first next week…some big climbs in that portion of the course.

Congrats!!!
