How long were you in there?
I do weekly ice baths, once a week every Sunday, using my bathtub. I'm unable to make my water close to 0C though, as I fill the tub with cold water from the tap (around 6-7C) and dump all the ice from my freezer ice maker to lower the temperature as much as possible (I think it gets to around 3-4C). I usually stay in there for 12-15 minutes, then take a very hot shower right after. My body still shivers after the hot shower. But I agree ice bath is a great experience.

The water was around or below 10⁰C. I forgot to check the time before and after, but I guess possibly 8 minutes.

That's a pretty long time at that temperature.

Yeah, I was surprised too. I guess the cold showers have contributed to it.
(Such a shame that I've been so busy lately, and have not been able to return for another one... 😔)
