Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.
"She is blessed with height - five foot ten - and 70 percent fast-twitch muscle fiber. This means she can contract her muscles more quickly than most people, even noticeably faster than the average Mission Viejo swimmer. The reports are that she can tolerate a concentration of eighteen millimoles of lactic acid in her blood, a physiologically measurable tolerance of pain that is stunningly high. In other words, she can swim very hard, pushing her muscles past the point where most people's muscles would simply collapse."
From the book the Champions regarding Dara's days at Mission Viejo. Phelps is another genetic freak.
