Nationals

Just finished up with the second day at Nationals and the swimming has been great to watch. Today ended with an almost World Record in the Men's 200 Backstroke by Michael Phelps. However the highlight of the night for me was watching Dara Torres win the Women's 100 Freestyle. Dara is 40 years old and has her sights set on making her 5th US Olympic Team (1984, 1988, 1992 and 2000 were the other years she was a member of the team). Simply amazing to watch her beat people half her age and who were not even born when she was in Los Angeles for the 1984 Games.
