But actually, a hot shower/bath is great for relaxing your muscles and getting them warmed up. While it doesen't serve the same purpose as a real workout, it is good for your body (if you have tears and junk un your tissue from a really hard session, then you're better off skipping the hot water and just soft pedaling or something.) Actually, when I rowed at the World Indoor Rowing Championships, after my final I took a shower, and met one of the openweight finalists - who would be rowing in an hour's time - in the shower. I asked her if her race went well, and she said that she had her final still left to go, but that the hot water helped to relax her. She ended up winning the Overall Title, and coming within 2 or 3 seconds of a new world record. I found this out later, and people were greatly amused when I yelled, "I met her in the sower!" I say that we all just go somewhere where the water is warm (like KONA with Bree) and float above the surface, looking down at wonderful turtles and nice marine life.Marit C-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742572497365287990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-92169366718028996472008-01-22T10:54:00.000-08:002008-01-22T10:54:00.000-08:00Kellye,shhhhhh don't scare the childless woman abo...Kellye,<BR/>shhhhhh don't scare the childless woman about birthing...IT is great...not really pain, more like uncomfortable :) <BR/><BR/>But to racing it does have a funny thing about it...during a race and moments after you are cursing ...I am NEVER going to do this again...BUT after the hurt.... you are ITCHING to sign up for another one :) SO just remember the pain goes along with the racing...and it does go AWAY :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13558162448828862579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-60908384309885737702008-01-22T10:49:00.000-08:002008-01-22T10:49:00.000-08:00I've peed in the shower, too, to avoid sitting.

I dare you to get a t-shirt that says, "I pee standing up"! <BR/>Can you take a hot bath to loosen up, or does that only help for a short while and inhibit the longer-term recovery? (I shouldn't ask this question b/c I'm sure the answer isn't going to be the one I'm looking for!)Pedergrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542802800246141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-82546524909275539232008-01-22T07:39:00.000-08:002008-01-22T07:39:00.000-08:00I can so relate to your post!

But you know it always is! :) You finish, walk away with not only your t-shirt but that much more confidence in what you can accomplish, you recover, and then somehow, history gets rewritten and in looking back... it just doesn't seem that bad anymore!<BR/><BR/>The girls in my family swear it's natures way of women forgetting pain so that you won't have JUST ONE child :) I'm just glad that crosses over to triathlon too!!<BR/><BR/>I hope you recover well!Kellye Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322425648694764371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-11839547612510354812008-01-22T05:23:00.000-08:002008-01-22T05:23:00.000-08:00Yup, showers are great, er "recovery aids". I thin...Yup, showers are great, er "recovery aids". I think there was a Seinfeld episode about peeing in the shower. Too funny though... Yep, I'm feeling better today - although haven't been challenged to do anything too substantial. I'm switchin around a run to tommorow, and biking an extra hour - because I don't want to aggrivate my lateral quads (I can just feel the knots). So a long bike (scheduled) and then an hour of self-induced pain from a massage. :) We should all just make t-shirts for ourselves... we've earned them! Beth - for you and your weekend ride, where you push yourself to new extremes each and every Sat/Sun (on the same, hilly course!) and Bree for being able to back up telling Chris Lieto that he could draft off of you. You guys rock!Marit C-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742572497365287990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-54285512435079545062008-01-22T04:37:00.000-08:002008-01-22T04:37:00.000-08:00Marit!

Now that, my friend, is an excellent idea!! (might have to use it later on this season! :) Anyway - hope you are feeling more recovered today!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247635973514495690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-32768750216635136292008-01-21T23:00:00.000-08:002008-01-21T23:00:00.000-08:00Oh my gosh!

I think everyone who has a wicked coach who gives them tready sessions needs that shirt- my coach would crap his pants if I wore that... Too funny! <BR/>Way to go on the pain! Embrace it, love it, that means you did your workout right! It it will only make you stronger! (I am still laughing at that shirt!)<BR/>Recover well!BreeWeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321263442189959874noreply@blogger.com
