on New Year's Day in chilly waters?
All you guys (and gals) talk BIG about how tough you are.
Well, get out there on New Year's Day and take the plunge into chilly waters (must be less than 40 degrees) after you take a run. No better way to start the New Year and a local charity will benefit.
Man up you wussies!!!
These charity polar bear participants are ruining the legitimacy of the sport.
Our mayor did it last year, and it was pretty fun to watch. The posters here are not tough....they won't even try a 50-miler. Really, how tough are they? I won't do it because the water is cold.
Ha, ha.
To all of you who complain that you can't stand an ice bath because your nuts retreat into your chest cavity...man up and take a plunge and then you will see some true "shrinkage."
Have you ever 'done' a truly fat, hairy girl? That,my friend, is your answer.
"you know what makes me sad? you do, maybe we need to jog down to mamby pamby land and get you some self confidence you jack waggon"

Awesome post.
"We've become a nation of wusses. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything," Rendell added. "If this was in China do you think the Chinese would have called off the game? People would have been marching down to the stadium, they would have walked and they would have been doing calculus on the way down."
Do you think the Chinese would do a Plunge, you nation of wusses?
No, but I'm running a quarter mile on a bed of hot coals to prove how tough I am.

Do you really think that those NFL guys that can bench 1000 pounds and run the 40 in 2 seconds really care what some old politician thinks of them?
I did one a few years ago here in Maine. The air temperature was 15, and it was windy. I went completely submerged in just running shorts, no shoes. It's really not that big a deal, and that's not because I'm tough. It just isn't. You're acutely uncomfortable while sprinting out of the water back to where your clothes are, and you stay really cold for a few minutes. But 20 minutes after I was completely fine. I've had far worse lingering discomfort from runs in bad winter weather (and summer, for that matter).
i did it once in some pretty cold water, don't really feel the need to do it again
Without global warming, would it have been colder than 15F on the day you plunged? Did you drive a gasoline-powered vehicle to the event?
I tried it, received a concussion on the ice!
I did it last year. It was a lot of fun and not hard. You don`t need to be `tough.`
