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.
Wow, I would consider myself a peer of Dara's (though my highest swimming achievement was simply qualifying and competing at OT's). I don't feel she should do anything differently than she has. Just because I chose to go the conventional route and marry/have kids/etc, I don't assume others should do the same. Sounds like sour grapes from some of those ex-swimmers you know...
I really don't think it is sour grapes. Dara got a bunch of yuck when she made a comeback at 33. Almost as much as she has lately. Gary Hall is the same age as Dara was when she made her comeback in 2000. We haven't heard as much about him as we did when Dara was 33. Why is this?
