41 Year Old Dara Torres Faster Than the Field
Posted by livininsanity on July 6, 2008
You gotta love the Dara Torres story. Obviously, it will eventually become a movie. This fact is without question, although it may take about 30 years.
At the age of 41, she is swimming faster than she has ever swam. The reason – the swimsuit! The other reason – she’s 41 and, therefore, the underdog. People cheer for her. People root for her. You know what that means? That means people like MJ want her to win. So, she does. Because MJ’s boyfriend is a cop.
All kidding aside, the reason Dara Torres won the 50 and 100 meter freestyle at the 2008 US Olympic Trials can be summed up in one word – energy. The type of energy found here. I found that blog yesterday when randomly blog surfing.
Speaking of random blog surfing, while riding the waves (about ten of them) I happened upon the same blog twice. Sounds like excessive energy to me. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Although there surely can be. I think some Presidents have too much energy, unfortunately, but this is a tangent and I digress.

Sneaky. Placing my link in random places… Trying to keep your title, eh? Sneaky sneaky… Oh, but yes, I do root for her.

Maybe I’ve been on another planet, but I’ve never heard of her. I have now though!

Another planet indeed!
Sneaky? What me? I call it determined. Like Dara Torres. Determined to have a conflux of energy work in your favor. What can I say, like Dara Torres I am a formidable opponent.
