Wow! Really interesting data on after-drop 🥶
Fascinating results from the temperature capsule I took before a 20 min swim in 6°C water. 🥶👇🏊♂️
Before I started the swim my temperature was 37.35°C. After getting into the river it rose to 37.97°C.
9 mins in and my core body temperature peaked to 38.08°C.
After I exited the water after 20 minutes, my temperature was just higher than before I started the swim - 37.38°C.
However, then my temperature started dropping as cold blood in my limbs returned to my core.
19 minutes after the swim I hit my lowest core body temperature. 36.06°C.
But here’s what I find fascinating - it took my body 2.5 hours to return to a normal 37°C! Only then did I feel fully recovered.
