Ice Plunge

Okay, this was pretty crazy. At the end of February, me and my friends Micah and Annie took a half-hour commute to a place called Hellasgården. There are great trails for XC skiing and running there. Many people also go there to sauna, which is immensely popular in Sweden. Everyone does it, everyone loves it. But a fun bonus to this activity is to exit the sauna and promptly jump into an ice-cold lake. It's how people sauna in the winter when they're up for a thrill. We did this, not just once, but twice, and had a fantastic experience. The water was exactly 0 degrees celsius in the lake. Who wants to come with me next time?!
