Polar plunge was "bearable"

Posted by Paula Scott on Sunday, March 2, 2025

Ada's Carmen Mancuso (in orange) decided that temps had "warmed up enough to be bearable," so she joined friends for the 2025 Ohio Northern Polar Plunge. Still terrified, she found that "I didn’t register the cold until I dunked my head... It felt like I couldn’t inhale air into my lungs. I ran straight out of the water and into a dry set of clothing... The cold was painful, but it turned into energy for the remainder of the day." Would she do it again as a senior? No.... Yes.... We'll see! PHOTO Ohio Northern.
