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.

    Hmmm ... that was my reaction too. How many kids can spend a $100,000+ to train? Is Dara's training really 180 degrees different? Aren't sprinters at that level in sprint programs? Don't they have weight and resistance programs and trainers? Maybe the resistance stretching program is different, but other swimmers must be getting massages and ART. I bet NCAA sprinters train much more than 15,000 yards/wk. I don't think any have team stretchers.
