OT: Polar Bear Plunge Video Cleveland Ohio

A few friends of mine braved the 37 degree water with air temps in the mid 20's yesterday. My buddy and I rode down to watch and let another friend record with the go pro... so bikes were actually involved. It starts a little slow but is definitely worth the wait. https://vimeo.com/56605126

It is an annual tradition in Lake Superior too. I come from sauna tradition where you go sauna, take a break when you are too hot and jump in the snow or the lake. That was tough enough. My parents generation added in beating themselves "gently" with birch sticks.
