Today Mitch, Brandon, and Jeremy begin by discussing favorite slushy flavors. But the real question for the conversation was “have you ever felt like Job in the Bible?”. Shout out to Jeremy for sharing his story of Gods goodness and Grace in a time of his life when all he could see was darkness and anger.

Andrew Stephen and Brandon talk about how cold plunging has helped different soreness issues whether chronic or injury related and helps strengthen your core to prevent injuries in the first place!

Here are a few ideas of how to recover after cold plunging! PRO TIP: buy cold water booties to cut down on the pain in your feet and keep your hands out of the water when plunging in the water below 40 degrees! DATA: ambient 33 degrees, water 42 degrees (although we had a thin layer of ice)

Candle light, 6 lbs of butter, and bananagrams!

A couple friends join me this morning for the first time this season and when asked why they came there answer was “because I heard it’s rough”. Not sure why that was their motivation, haha.

The question is why is the last 10% more difficult than the first 90%? It could be those last few reps in a workout, the final details of a project, or the final mile of a marathon run.

Can our mind get us past the pain? How much should we ignore our physical survival instincts to accomplish a task? And DONT STEP ON THE METAL WITH YOUR WET FOOT!!!

It’s a mental battle getting into cold water and even more so when you’re breaking ice before getting in. Ambient temperature 28 degrees, water temperature 35 degrees. Surface ice about 1/4” thick.
