Swam on Saturday morning at 6C/42F.
Did 1.4k of the perimeter of the lake and 550m of the buoys with a wetsuit! Can not tell you how cold my hands and feet after this swim. They throbbed at first and quickly after that there was absolutely NO FEELING AT ALL!
I wanted to get a quick dip in without a wetsuit just so I can acclimate to the cold. I went to do a 100m but as always in this situation I want to push myself to the limit. I was able to get a 550m and about 100m. I was fine getting out but 15 minutes later, I was shaking uncontrollable, slurring, and talking gibberish. Took me about 45 minutes to warm up.
Next time I am going to do a before and after temperture of my core body to actually see how much my core body temp dropped.
