Do a polar plunge

“A jump for me is either into deeper water or running in. It’s more of a lark. I scream like a kid, laugh, and don’t stay in real long. [...] In my experience, the hype is real. I was in a pretty bad motorcycle accident and this practice eliminates pain for several days. I feel like my whole body is buzzing and warm for hours afterward. The adrenaline rush is on a par with mountain biking. It makes me feel like a goddam badass.”

“After my interview, I went back to the beach to get ready for the group photo and countdown to the plunge. Then, the reporter who interviewed me for Channel 6 came back and asked me if I would be willing to wear a GoPro camera as I raced into the water. Um……what? “No.” That is what I should have said. That is what I wanted to say. That is what I was praying came out of my mouth. “Sure. I’d be happy to.” That is what I really said, and I strapped on the camera. [...] the camera was facing me, catching my every expression as it aimed from my torso straight up to my face, catching every scream, every grimace, and every look of panic as I entered the sea.”
