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?

As one of Dennis' master swimmers I can vouch that he truly does all that he is posting. He is oneof the best if not the best swimmers I have ever known, also a great coach. He took someone who had not swam in 20 years and got me to the point where I have qualified for nationals in May. Thanks Bake!
I don't think any of us doubted him, I know I did not. I think it was just a bit overwhelming for many to read about somebody swimming at these paces.
As for your Nats qualification, congrats to you and your coach! Good luck.
