I'm sure some of you have been reading Dennis Baker's "A Day in the Life" series. For those who haven't, it's a chance to see what this guy goes through.
I've never met Dennis, but I have heard stories. To read that he does sets of 300s fly is astounding. I know he's been doing that all his life, but to have the drive to do it alone is great.
I must say, though, that his entries almost sound a little like bragging.
That said, to go 8x100 SCM free on 1:10 and call it recovery is remarkable for anyone, much less a 45-year-old man.
Any other thoughts?

This recovery set is great because it really gives me energy for the next day. I try not to go fast or push it, but just make the send offs with the least amount of effort. To do this, one must find other ways to swim fast. Less head movement and better turns seem to do the trick for me.
I try not to go fast? Who is he kidding! This guy is a swimming superpower.
Not to change the subject, but while I was looking up this article I saw that another swimmer, Kalyn Keller, is jumping ship from USC and heading to Club Wolverine. I am starting to think that Dennis should head up to Club Wolverine and show those youngsters what somebody twice their age is capable of.
