Ned Denison, a candidate for the 2010 World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year, relentlessly pushing athletes to succeed in their marathon swimming goals, whether it is in his notorious open water training camps in Ireland or in the controlled confirms of a pool.
"Today we had core group of five in the pool for a long swim set," Coach Ned explained. "The set was 200 100 100 - or 200 x 100 meters on 100 seconds for a 20K swim. It was simple, non-nonsense and brutal."
"[In order to help prepare the athletes,] I announced that there was the strongest adverse tide ever for the first mile of the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim and that the organizers expected 70% of the swimmers to be unable to make the corner. We would all sprint for 2,500 meters at the start."
Gotta love Ned (shown in the Santa Barbara Channel), especially since he was right there with everyone slogging out those 200 100's one after another after another after another.
