Polar Plunge

You only live once, right?

The cynic might say the same can be said for dying.

Despite a slight fear that my heart would stop from the shock, I peered into a hole through 6ft of ice, and took a dip in the 28°F waters of the Ross Sea.

And I thought I was tough for trying to body surf off the Oregon coast...

Ahhh... I practically jumped out of the water it was so cold. You should've heard me bouncing up and down trying to warm up... "holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."

I'm not tough... just foolhardy.
