Polar Bear Plunge

JenAndSome

I am doing it. I am doing the polar bear plunge at the lake this year on New Year's Day. The theme this year is hippies. Has anyone ever done it before? Any stories, tips or outfit ideas are welcome. Also, just so everyone knows, I really, really hate the cold.

Sorry, I have no tips. But I do think you're crazy. You should try the "Manatee Plunge" it's gotta be much more relaxing. :-)

It's going to be at 11 a.m. this year so I'm not sure how well that will work, but I will definitely keep that in mind. If it were earlier in the morning I could just stay drunk, but I'm getting kind of old for that.

Probably much more relaxing. I wish I lived in a warmer climate. I just have to get my thrills where I can.

Come up here and do it. It will be colder, and then by the time you get back home and do it, it will seem warm.

That's almost genius. If I come up there are you going to do it, too?

We just did one a few weeks ago for charity, it was at 12pm. We all met at a buddies house at 8am for Kegs N Eggs, so 11am is not too early!
