Nyttårsbad

Nyttårsbad!
scroll down for English version...Nyttårsbadet ble kansellert på grunn av vind og kulde. Men Nyttårsdagen var vindstille og fin. Og hva er vel mer naturlig enn å starte året med et bad? Da Christian og Thomas ville snike seg ned for å svømme, kunne jeg ikke motstå fristelsen. Klart jeg ville! Dog, svømming er vel å overdrive. Dypping er vel mer betegnende! Men med minus 22 grader i luften og ca minus 1,5 grad i vannet, var det faktisk ikke stort problem å dukke kroppen under. Verre var det å komme opp av vannet. 22 minusgrader mot våt hud kan i beste fall kalles forfriskende! Litt av en "awakening", kan man si. Men alle var vi enige om at vårt hemmelige bad var en suksess. Dette skal gjentas!
New Years' swim!
The last day of 2010 was very cold due low temperatures and heavy winds. Therefore the new years bath was cancelled. But what is more natural than STARTING the year by "cleaning up"? When Christian and Thomas came around to tell me they would go swimming, I could not resist. Although - swimming might not be the right word. More like a dipping, maybe?The event started from the Marinlab. With minus 22 degrees in the air, it was actually not too bad to dip the body into sea water holding minus 1,5 degrees. Dipping during the summer sometimes feels worse! But of course, wet naked skin is not the perfect combination to temperatures below minus 20. Getting back from the water was kind of refreshing! But actually we all agreed; this is something we would like to repeat!
