Victrola Coffee Makes Man Impervious To Cold, Common Sense
Seattle Snow Queen 2007, meet the Freeze King. We first noticed the news of this guy's 202-day swim streak in the P-I.
Sullivan, 39, has been swimming in Lake Washington every day since June 24. Today will be day 203."I figure I'll just keep going until it gets too cold," said Sullivan, a residential counselor for CPC Community Psychiatric Clinic.
It's not clear what kind of weather would constitute "too cold." So far, Sullivan has kept his streak alive despite snowfall, the largest windstorm in a decade and temperatures well below freezing.
We're not sure if we'd want to get counseling from someone who thinks 46-degree water is "brisk." Would he really feel our pain about the time that one person was rude to us?
He's got a blog, but there are no admissions about a congenital lack of nerve endings. We have trouble getting out of bed when it's chilly, let alone jumping in a lake. How is it possible?
In a word: caffeine.
In poking around, we finally got to the bottom of things at Victrola's blog, where they noted he's a Victrola regular and credit his deep-freeze resistance to their coffee. They don't mention his preference of blend, but clearly he's not a decaf guy.
