Where training at 110 C is wussy. The Finns are crazy.

Hahaha.
Sounds like it'd be fun for northern climates...

Good Lord.... I am not sure which is more horrifying, this:

He was the first out, at 4:15, and he was melting like the wicked witch. His forehead, his lips and his ears were giant lumps of pus. His triceps were riddled with pebble-size blisters, dozens of them. So much skin was hanging off him he looked like the world's most successful gastric-bypass patient. His forehead was a science-fiction movie. His nose was cooked like a forgotten kielbasa. And this was just what we could see."

Or this:

"This is a nationally televised event."

Sorry, did the sauna thing a few times when I lived in Germany, nice but I always used the lower temp facilities (120-140 degrees F), anything more was just plain uncomfortable. I never did build up a tolerance.

This competition is just plain insanity...
