How could I feature anyone this week but U.S. swimmer
Dara Torres? She sets a new American record in the 50-meter freestyle at age 41 - a record she originally broke at
age 15 - that's just amazing. What's also amazing is her physique - this
New York Times article details the extensive team of people Torres has assembled to help get her ready for the Olympics, and not only are they good for her swim times, they're also apparently doing a bang-up job giving her a body to die for. (FYI - photo below courtesy NYT - don't sue me - other than an old breast pump and an extensive princess dress-up collection, I got nothin'.)
Did I mention she's also a mom to a two-year-old? Which for me totally explains why she'd want to spend so much time underwater - it muffles the ear-splitting screams of two-year-old temper tantrums so well.
Count me in as a Dara Torres fan. I'm breaking out my old pom-pons for this chick come August - if for no other reason than to stuff them in my ears and pretend I'm underwater while wrestling the TV remote from Princess G to try to actually watch the Olympics rather than "
The Doodlebops." That
purple chick really freaks me out.

I don't know whether to be impressed or embarassed that a 41 year old is in better shape than me.
