Open call for 2013 Lewes Polar Bear Plunge benefitting Special Olympics

A few of us have been talking about doing the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge so I wanted to put it out there and see who else is interested.

It's Sunday Feb 3 2013 at 1pm (yes, it's Super Bowl Sunday, last year I made it all the way back north in plenty of time for the game)...Lewes DE (really it's in Rehoboth)...$50 per person benefiting DE Special Olympics and they encourage people to raise more if you want. No 'teams' or anything like that so register individually or however. A few of us are definitely in so post if you are going and register at any time.

I'm probably jinxing us but honestly last year it wasn't that bad. Pre-plunge Jager bombs help with the cold.

It's up to you...some people ran in up to their knees and turned around. We all agreed not to be b!+(#3$ and that everyone had to get their heads under. Even with that it was still only like 30 seconds or so, no one is trying to swim to Cape May or anything.

I am crazy too just in different ways. At least with the polar bear plunge we are in the water for a minute and at the bar 5 minutes later...you have a legit chance of freezing to death.
