Title: Tulsa's 2015 Polar Bear Plunge Post by: sauerkraut on November 04, 2014, 01:35:40 pm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ3SbRboCFU >>> This video is the 2014 Polar Bear Plunge recorded by someone who took part in the race. I'm in that video somewhere. Over 600 runners took part. I was in Heat#2. The event starts off with a two mile run then you dive into icy pool number one, climb out and run soaking wet to pool number two, climb out and run soaking wet to pool number three dive to the bottom of the icy water and pull out your medal and then dash to the finish line. It's tuff, it's brutal and it tests your endurance. I did the 2013 Polar Bear event and that one was worse than the 2014 event because it was really cold that day.

I'm getting a bit worried, January first is less than 30 days away!

It will have a shorter run of 1.5 miles instead of the 2 mile run they had last year, and 3 plunges into the icy drink it also features a 35' high slide. How'd ya like to slide into freezing water at a high rate of speed from 35 feet up? :)

About 400 runners took part. It was cold and brutal - but afters we had free access to the fitness club and the heated indoor pool, the hot tub and my favorite the 160 degree sauna room. I needed that to stop shivering.
