It's those Russkis again; celebrating the Epiphany of Christ. "The Epiphany, celebrated in Russia on January 19, marks the baptism of Jesus in the Orthodox Church. Believing that on this day water becomes holy and is imbued with special powers, Russians cut holes called Iordan in the ice of lakes and rivers, often in the shape of the cross, to bathe in the freezing water. This practice is said to be popularized comparatively recently; it was fairly uncommon in the czarist days, but has flourished since the 1990s." (Wikipedia) Been there, done that, didn't even get a cold. Amazing people.
For the elite they have steps you go down, walk the trough and walk up the steps on the other end. Nothing like the commoners do. Pip Pip and alla that horse shit.
I was a member of the he "Polar Bear" club in Lake Tahoe, and Newfoundland. It's amazing what a naked woman and alcohol can get you to do. Getting in was the real shocker, yes there are shrinkage issues, but not permanently.
According the Wim Hof (Te Ice Man), the real keep to to keep breathing very deeply and intentionally - basically a slow hyperventilation. That poor girl was going to have trouble with that. It's supposed to be extremely good for you, so long as you don't kill yourself in the processes. -Just A Chemist
I live in Michigan. Our inland lakes freeze over, mostly, and yet never have I had the inclination to do any such craziness. Although I once fell into a small river in early March. I suspect the water temperature was in the low 40 degrees. I know that by the time my friends and my ex wife got me home, my clothes were still frozen, and I was barely shivering. We had been fishing along the river bank, and as we were leaving, I stepped through roots, and the bank fell through and into the water I went, over my head. I didn't come close to dying, I just thought that I was going to . It felt like it took 2 days before I was warm again. I think that it has been since then that I have hated cold weather.
Bet she could cut glass with those nipples when got out.

I coulda bought a KLR 650 for what those titties cost.
ReplyDeleteReminds of the "L Street Brownies" up in South Boston. They would take a plunge into Boston Harbor every day regardless of the weather.

I've been in cold water before...takes your breath away. Muscles act funny or don't work right. I don't recommend it. Ohio Guy
ReplyDeleteWhy was she genuflecting? Was she trying to see if her nipples were still attached?
