Polar Bear 2008 - 2009

Why would anyone swim 40 miles without a wetsuit during winter in San Francisco Bay?

For one of these baby!!!



Polar Bear 2008 - 2009 began on December 21st and ends March 21st. I’m struggling at 13 miles right now. The water temperature, which was in the high 40s, broke into the 50s this morning. This is a promising sign. However, there are no guarantees. . .

There are 8 weeks left of winter. I’ll be away on vacation for 2 weeks. So, I’ll have to average 4.5 miles a week to get it done. The first 13 was no walk in the park! I’ll add a current mileage count on the top right corner of the blog.
