Temperature at time of plunge: 10 degrees
Wind-chill: 0 degrees
Lake temperature: Ice Water
But that didn't deter the two troopers and my friend Josh from jumping into Lake Michigan as part of the first annual WEathalon (Willenbrink-Eastberg Triathalon).
The first event was biking around the block:
Jodi gets ready by putting on helmet in professional manner.

Only two bikes available, so Jodi and Zach shared! John looks on nervously.
Good balancing maneuver by Zach; good bike control by Jodi.
The next event was running the approx .5 mile down the hill to the lake:
Josh on the left with white pants, Jodi on the right with the blue shirt (Didn't get a clear shot, the man under the blue blanket did not participate in the WEathalon)
And then, the plunge:
The other 4,000 or so crazy people waiting to plunge or just waiting to watch the spectacle.
Minutes before the plunge...
Plunge
My friend Ryann (on left) and I were the support team. I am not being a good supporter at this moment as I am the one taking the photo instead of helping everyone get warm
They're done! And ready to take a hot shower!
In other news, Milwaukee got hit by another 10 inches of snow.
Zach next to tree.
Jess in the snow.
Hope everyone has a great New Year!
