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.

  • and anyone else who is successfully fighting the fact that we don't have to get fat and fluffy in our 40's, 50's and beyond are good role models. I don't understand, the drive to stay in shape is the sole requirement to be a role model? Look at her public life and tell me if that is really something you want to emulate. Having just spent a week with a pro athlete who has a single minded dedication to his wife and family and only speaks to his "day job" when asked I can say I've seen a person much more worthy of role model accolades. No entourage, no goofy amino routines, kung fu videos, etc.
