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 too have enjoyed reading Dennis Baker's "Day in the Life."
It's very inspirational and really makes me think that perhaps
I/ other masters can pusher ourselves further (not necessarily to his level - but further than what our preconceived notions are for *people of our age*.)
I feel he comes off as very matter-of-fact and positive.
If he's doing those 10 or 12 300 flys on the interval he listed, I think his "recovery" set is truly recovery for him.
Good for him for ignoring conventional wisdom and just aiming for his dreams.
Skip, thanks for the great background info. I am personally rooting for him and really hopes he makes the cut!
