Dara is a part-time local here in Sun Valley, and needless to say EVERYONE in the valley is cheering her on.
Having meet her a few times (beautiful, funny and built!) and watched her training up for 08, it is impossible to not be impressed with Dara.
Cannot wait to witness Dara laying down a 41-year old smack down on all those baby minnow wannabes!!!! Heck, her goggles are older then most of her rivals!
