Polar Bear 2009

This year I got to participate in Chico's annual tradition of the New Years Day Polar Bear Swim. The water was 39 degrees F and I had to carry my flipflops, which caused me to be unable to do the crawl, I discovered that backstroking it worked best.

I'm thinking maybe aquasocks for next year. This other video is after I got out. Seeing this video makes me realize how much weight I've been putting back on. Maybe my resolution should be to start riding my bike again.

I think you might just be crazy... but that's not really news, is it? :)
