Since I am in the Dixie Zone, I was perusing the results of meets this weekend and saw that Dara Torres, who turned 40 on Sunday, went 21.91 in the 50 free and 48.34 in the 100 free this weekend in St. Petersburg this past weekend. I guess that she is serious about this comeback. It will be interesting to see how she can do long course.
Since I was at Y Nationals, I looked up results to see how she would have done against the men. There was one 31 yo who was faster in both the 50 and 100 and a 45 yo who was faster in the 100 by a small amount. Pretty incredible.
here's the link to the results

her scy times show she's in great shape. Obviously she's training for the 2008 Olympics and with those times, she's a definite contender. as far as her comeback is concerned, she's doesn't need to come much further, looks to me like she's just about back.
I'm curious to see how she'll do this summer.
She's got a great shot of making the 4 x 100 free relay,
in the 100 fr I think it's going to take a 53.7 to make top 2 and 54.5 to make top 6
the 50 is a crap shoot but worth training for,
the 200 is 75 meters too far for her
ande
I need to train to beat her in the 100 fr
