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.

  • Don't we all need to be more humble? No, we're not all listing our accolades and state titles. I'm sure some could even use a bit more cockiness. I won't throw an egg. You can live in the dark ages if you choose. Just don't chastise the rest of us for not embracing the stepford wife model. As gobears says, work or stay at home -- either route can work out just fine. I think Dara is a role model, although, as I've said, not sure that pro athletes are the best role models in general. It's a good think to be healthy, fit and active as you go through life. Kids would likely benefit from seeing more of this rather than being taken to McDonalds. Hall is overshadowed by Dara at the moment.
