I'm a big fan of cooling down the legs after a long run, but not a fan of sitting in an ice bath. The last time I tried it, I lasted all of three seconds. For some reason it took me a a year to connect the dots between a long run at Lady Bird Lake and the cold water at Barton Springs. All I had to do was to park the car across the street at the springs.
Let me tell you that the feeling is incredible. My legs have never felt better after a long run.
Here are a few photos of the place.
This is where I write about my attempts to rearrange my body's atoms to compete in triathlon events in Central Texas. From nutrition to wrenching the bikes, it's all still a learning experience.
