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?

Being a flyer I can appreciate his drive and those crazy sets. I wish him luck on trying to get his OT cuts. I have done the 300 flys myself. However, mine is in 25yd pool and I only do 5 and its 75fly 25 fly. Usually I only do those during the summer when trying to get that extra yardage for the long course season. My currrent favorite set I do at least once a week is 5x200 flys on 3, decending. First one is usually around a 2:25 and the last one at 2:10. Its all about finding the groove and just going with it, its not as painfull as one might think.
At 45 his time is amazing and makes me want to work harder to try and get to his level in the 200 fly.
