I finished my thesis!

FINALLY.

This is on topic - it’s about Dara Torres and how she managed to maintain world class swimming performance into her 40s, focusing on her amino acid supplement and Resistance Stretching routine.

IT FELT SO GOOD TO PRINT IT! Tomorrow I deliver copies to my committee members… defense is April 9.

That’s all :slight_smile: just happy!

Yay!

You are way ahead of schedule :slight_smile: What are you going to do for the next 3 weeks?

What are you going to do for the next 3 weeks?

Get ready for the defense :wink:

You have to give it to the committee members 2 weeks ahead of defense date - so I’m really only 1 week ahead.

YAYYYYYY!

One of my good friends is training w/ Dara in Cali right now…well what he told me is that its the National team (minus collegiate swimmers)

Congratulations, and best of luck on your defense.

so which steroids did she use?

Good for you
Does that mean you have to work now
.

1 week is a lot :slight_smile: I got mine in about 1 minute ahead of the 2 week requirement.

what are your plans for the future?

Oooh, she’s still at it? I wonder what she’s shooting for now.

Plans for the future - to answer your and Cheyou’s question - going to grad school to be a HS math teacher.

This is an undergrad thesis, required if one wants to graduate with Honors.

1 week is a lot :slight_smile: I got mine in about 1 minute ahead of the 2 week requirement.

I’m as OCD about school as I am about training - things NEVER get done last minute… I don’t think I’ve ever been even working on something the night before it’s due :slight_smile:

How can we get a copy?

Was this a draft legal thesis? Otherwise you better have typed it printed it and turned it in with no edits, Otherwise you will be labeled as a dirty drafting cheater.

Admit it, You drafted didn’t you.

t

seriously?

I suppose I could email it to you.

Congratulations on finishing! The defense should be almost anticlimactic at this point, if it goes like most of them.

Good job. I had heard it was the amino’s, stretching and a hint of chicken noodle soup. I could be wrong?

Good job. I had heard it was the amino’s, stretching and a hint of chicken noodle soup.

Exactly.

Seriously, the amino acid and R.S. routine - the amino acid may have an ergogenic aid effect, but nothing beyond that. The stretching very likely has some role… impossible to say how much (or if it would work for anyone else. She is a case study of 1).

Mostly, her saying those two things are her “secret weapons” has to do with marketing and sponsorship $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

but in the process of research, I got to talk to some cool people, like her strength and conditioning coach. Primary sources! And I had fired a couple questions at desert dude over the course of research and writing, which means he wound up being cited in it :smiley:

Congrats. Actually sounds like an interesting read.

See, I’m not the only one interested in reading it. And I sent it to a friend of mine (oops, probably should have asked first!) to read it too since he was interested.

You guys are funny…

we got to copyright them and everything! That page might possibly be my favorite.

If you come up with any questions, shoot them at me, good practice for my defense.

Just got my dad interested too. I’m printing off a copy… he gets it when I’m done.
