    I’ll wear a t-shirt outside for 10 minutes when it’s 47 degrees outside. But 47 is a whole new level of cold when it’s water.

    I have a little pond in the yard, so I occasionally have to reach in there throughout the year. Right now it’s close to that 47F mark, and it’s like past “this is cold” to “this hurts!”

      We always knew when Coach had set the pool to the 45° F ice bath he would have us train in part of the time, cause the first person jumped in and almost came back out of the pool. When he set it to 75° that felt like a sauna and made me sleepy.
