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.

It is a tough time for Dara. Ten years ago, before BALCO and the increased publicity surrounding doping in the Tour, we would have been more accepting. Another thing that hurts Dara is Dara. She is living an unconventional lifestyle for a 41 year old mother, is drawing attention to that fact, and is proud of it. If she was low-profile, got married right out of college, was still married to the same person, and had a couple of pre-teen or teenage kids, I think we might be quicker to embrace her. This is what society expects of a 41 year old woman.
here here and take away the right to vote while we're at it! Dammit if it wasn't for equality, I'd not have to compete with women for jobs that are men's work!
Man this is a great post Elise, I know what you're saying but if I said it seriously I'd get lynched.
It's a bit like the woman walking into the locker rooms at my Y "looking" for her son. I understand, but if I did it in the women's room, I'd be on the S.O.R. quicker than Dara Torres can race 50m Free!
