After my recent neutering, I've taken the past couple of weeks off. I'm back to about 95% and figured I'd give it a shot at the New Year's Eve Polar Bear Plunge.
I got there a bit early then met with Jim. Gords and Josh soon arrived and 2 new guys were there too.
The wind was blowing something fierce and it was REALLY cold. Water temp read 37-38 degrees and I know the wind was colder than that.
By the time I got to my speedo's I was freezing already. I got in the water and it actually felt a TINY bit warmer! My hands froze immediately though. I felt pretty good in the water. Adrenaline kicked in I guess. I swam out to Josh and even though we've done this several times, I felt REALLY excited and happy for us. The 2 new guys screaming non stop probably helped too!
I had a blast. My hands hurt more than normal today. Took longer to warm up than usual too. Starting cold helps body but hurts hands I guess.
Fun day though.
