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.
Even as a new mother, it probably isn't too big a deal to carve out two hours a day to train.
Ooh, gotta disagree with THAT one. I don't care how elite, talented, or determined you are, 2 hours is a huge chunk of time you are not with your baby. However, if they sleep the same two hours every day... :lmao:
Yea, right. It's all about priorities isn't it?
And BTW, I thought Jenny looked far more flustered when Dara showed up, not the other way around.
