Anyone else doing one? I'm off in 20 minutes for a plunge in Lake Washington. Water temperature today is 47°, but it's a lovely sunny day (for a change) and there'll probably be upwards of 1,000 participants, judging by the past couple of years' turnout.
Jumped in my neighbor's pool at midnight last night. Approximate temp was 45 F. I wasn't able to stay in as long as I did last year (last year's temp was about 42 F). When I came up, I was gasping for air and very uncomfortable. Maybe 30 seconds at best. Last year, I stayed in for a couple minutes to make sure some of the kids jumping in didn't get into trouble. This year, I stayed on standby at the side of the pool in case of trouble.
