Re: [Paddlewise] Cold water adaptation - Part II

I know that my first exposures after a couple weeks or a month without
rolling in very cold water not only gives me a splitting "ice cream
headache", I sometimes get so nauseous I feel like recoloring my
sprayskirt.  Dizziness, tunnel vision...

But...if I persevere for an hour or so, it's mostly gone away.

Then, I can roll the very next day without even the icecream headache.

This temporary adaptation seems to go away after a couple weeks, and
then I have to do it all over again.
