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.
That's a feat for a guy let alone the woman!
Yep. My husband had to wait on me while I was on bed rest for baby #3. My own training regime was lifting water and food to my mouth and holding a book. Oh, and taking RX drugs. It was so rigorous that I finally decided to become two people again. Then my husband went back to training. I started my un-rigorous swimming regimen about 5 years later.
I hope Dara kicks ass.
