Action Tiger Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 http://www.icemanwimhof.com/ Check out this guy. I have a buddy, and we're both open water swimmers, so we understand the effects of cold, especially water. This guy is a cold master! By the way, Wood, when you say paddle in the 30's, you mean the past, or the future? Holy cow! I added a link to my post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I was refering to temp...I know with snow on the ground and the temp.in the 30's with the sun shining it is easy to work up a sweat cutting firewood...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Oh, brother, I was totally joking. We do actually get the snow type stuff where I live. Most years. Due to altitude, though, not latitude. My favorite time to run is when it's freezing; real easy to overheat if you dress, so I still wear shorts and short sleeves. We get freezing temps even if we don't get the moisture. Wetsuits are really bad for overheating in cold water, too. Especially if you're wiggling about on the surface. I hope we get some snow this year, or things are going to get really bad around here. Did you see that guy maintain his core temp in an ice bath?
