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.

  • Good interview with Carl Foster. Of course you know my favorite part is where he says that "he other reason people retire is that normal life gets in the way. You get a normal life, you get a family. It gets harder to do the kinds of things you need to do to prepare for an elite competition. Where is the time to do the practice?" ;) Disagree though where he says that she is "not as old as 41 in terms of accumulated injuries." Hasn't she had three surgeries because of "accumulated " injuries? I understood that she had two shoulder surgeries and a knee surgery.
