RE: [RC] RC:Core Temp - Peery, SandraTitle: Re: [RC] RC:Core TempI've wondered about people using ice water, mostly with regards to the hindquarters. I don't have any real personal experience endurance wise as I'm fairly new to the sport. However, back a few years ago, the use of ice was one of the nasty little tricks in 4H market lamb competitions. People would ice the hindquarters of the lambs to tighten up the muscles and make them feel more massive/compact/etc for when the judges manuely assessed the lambs. The practice has mostly been suspended and any lambs that feel cold are disqualified. I'd assume that you'd have to have pretty darn cold water with tons of ice to cause a real problem but it still make me a bit nervous.
