#61 – POLAR BEAR SWIM

Me and Rex!

It was a cold day in Vancouver the day I decided to throw my body into freezing waters like an insane lunatic.

For whatever reason, I wanted a fresh start to the year and what better way to purge my past sins than by baptism?

One degree celcius…that’s cold!!

Yeah.

All I remember is that I felt very very warm once I got out of the water.

Did I mention it was only 1 degree celcius at the time?

Not only did my brain go numb, but I suspect that I was going into some sort of hypothermic shock because, I swear, it really felt warm outside.

Only when I finally put on my long thick down jacket did I actually start to feel cold.

But the long and the short of it is that I had fun and I promised myself I’d do it again…some year.
