I’ve never really been able to tolerate warm weather well. I’m at my best when stored in cool, dark places. Although my low tolerance for heat has always been known to me, I discovered how tolerant I am to cold earlier this year in January when I went for a swim in the bay at Aquatic Park. Water temp was ~51 F, where things start getting dicey if one is submerged for more than an hour. After a couple laps around the buoys (~1200 yards) I couldn’t open and close my fingers and my whole body felt numb. It was perversely very enjoyable.
