    Pretty wild! I am wishing her the best of luck...but I'm not getting my hopes up. I think a sprinter would have a better chance with a "late-life" comeback...it's not easy to recover from the type of workouts a distance swimmer needs to go all out in a 400 or 800 m race. Considering she didn't medal in the 96 games, it would seem that perhaps he time has come and gone (and, it was some really amazing times she had!). That being said, perhaps she was just to burned out in 96 to make the effort needed. I'm anxious to here how the Fullerton meet goes down this weekend...pretty certain she will win her age group! Agreed. This "comeback bandwagon" thing is getting old too (no pun intended).:cane:
