Lake Minnetonka Polar plunge 2012

At jump time it was a balmy 27 degrees fahrenheit. This is 40 or 45 degrees warmer than other Polar Plunges I have attended. It lacked the intensity and urgency for the participants, who in previous years shot out of the water into the warming rooms with singleness of purpose. I visited briefly, strolling in from the Lake Minnetonka Trail where a fire engine was blocking the path. No fires were encountered.










Running shoes seemed were sported by most participants. No Air Jordans.
