First Cold Plunge Experience
7 and a half minutes...
That's how long I spent in my first cold plunge
And it was probably the hardest thing mentally I've ever done
I'm no stranger to cold exposure
I've done cryotherapy more times than I can count on my hands
I take cold showers every day.
So I decided to challenge myself by hopping in the sauna before I got in
Bad decision.
I was met with 48 degree water which sent my body into shock
That might have been the first time I ever experienced that..
I intended to stay in for 5 minutes, but I tapped out after a minute and a half
After a quick facetime call with my girlfriend about how difficult it was, I found myself not being able to walk away from doing something I knew I could do...
So I hopped back in and stayed for 5 more minutes
Hands numb
Feet numb
I could feel the cold in my bones
But I made it through.
Why would I get back in and put myself through that hell again?
Why couldn't I just walk away and let myself off the first time?
You know the answer...
Its one word and it starts with a G.
Reply if you know what it is.
