Dennis Baker: A Day in the Life

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?

  • I don't know how much punishment my body could take in a day, What a remarkable athlete. But how do his shoulders handle that load? Is he a superhuman physiological specimen? Orthopods and PTs and masseuses on staff? It doesn't look like he has time to work that in... What about dessication? What's his secret? (Besides good technique, I mean.) Beth: If he's watching Boston Legal with his girlfriend, I'm hoping he's not married. I see he's kicking ;) even with, gasp, a board. :eek:
