when I'm 41...


I want to have a small fraction of this woman’s spirit and drive. Her competitiveness, dedication, determination, and discipline are my current athletic inspiration. Dara Torres will swim for the US in Beijing in a few weeks. She is 41 years old, has a two year old daughter, has already won nine Olympic medals, and the only swimmer to be competing in the Olympics for the fifth time. Her qualifying time in the 100 free was 2.47 seconds faster than her Olympic time twenty years ago!

And her abs?! Don’t even get me started...

Read more about her in this weeks TIME; “100 Olympic Athletes to Watch.”
