Last year I found out that one of the chefs here was an avid swimmer. Being a swimmer myself I was naturally interested. Turns out he swims at 6 in the morning, every morning, in an outdoor pool. That's not exaggerating, there really isn't much more to add to that to make it any more awesome. Apparently last year when it got really cold here he got frost bite marks on his shoulders from swimming, this guy is a machine.

I couldn't fathom why he did this every morning so I decided to try it out for myself a few weeks ago. It took me more then a year to work up the nerve to try it, but it made my whole day much better. I am acutely planning on going again tomorrow, even though it is currently 12:30am and I have finals tomorrow, that is how much I enjoyed it. Don't know that I will be able to keep pace with the powerhouse that is Chef Roberts.
