Arctic swim

Made it down to the pool late afternoon thinking the sun would have warmed it up.

How wrong I was. Even though I wore my rash vest, the water was freezing...so cold a guy turned up in a full wet suit and he only lasted 10 minutes! It was the kind of cold that takes your breath away even under water!

I ended up cranking out 1km including 200m of finger touch drill. I was going to keep going, but when I started to lose feeling in my fingers and toes I figured it was probably a good idea to stop.

It took me a good hour to stop shivering once I got home and I'm still not warm!

Time to bring out the wet suit from now on I think. Which might not be a bad thing.
