Susan Yes, your hair does freeze. My first tri of the season last year was a pool swim (around 75 degrees air temp) then maybe 30 degrees outdoors for the transitions, bike & run with 25+ mph winds.
When the door opened to leave the pool room after the swim, being hit by the cold air was blinding & shocking. Good incentive to get changed into your gear quickly! We stuck foot warmers in our tri shoes to heat them up ahead of time.
Needless to say it was an adventure and obviously didn't deter me from doing more tris!
Thought I had better add that you do warm up as you go. It wasn't that miserable once you've warmed up.
