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.
Blech. :eek: I don't personally agree with ANY of these statements and I'm a 40 something mom.
Jim: Geek can't invoke option E and he really hasn't. He previously stated that no master can really compare themselves too well to Dara -- and he's right.
Fortress - Actually, the comments to which I refer were heard and read outside the USMS forum. I will admit, however, that I'm stuck in the dark ages. Hard to believe I interned for one of the most liberal Senators in Congress when I was in college.
Seriously, if Dara was a man (no pun intended), would she be going through this ordeal? Even after all the BALCO stuff, if a 41 one year old Mark Spitz type made it, I think his accomplishment would get some questioning but probably not as much as Dara's.
