Julie Moss competing in the 1982 Hawaii Ironman Triathlon



Uploaded by: btmonkey
Video Description:
In 1982, Julie Moss became worldwide famous during the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon, in which she competed as part of her research for her exercise physiology thesis. At approximately two miles before the finish line, she came severely dehydrated. She staggered and crawled towards the end of the course, only to be passed moments before the finish line by Kathleen McCartney. Her struggle to finish the Ironman was broadcasted live around the world by ABC Sports, and provided inspiration to many.

I guess the ... ( 7 months ago by hotdog2025)
I guess the politically safe, super sportsman-like thing to do would probably be to cross the finish line together with Julie Moss, but considering that she didn't even realize what had happened or that she had won, I really don't see what people can hold against her.

Her body went into complete muscle failure, which is normal after doing rigorous exercise for hours during the day. It does happen. It happened to me once (and it didn't feel good either).

Jim McKay of ABC Sports called it "heroic . . one of the greatest moments in the history of televised sport." Gilbert Lang, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at Roseville (California) Community Hospital and a longtime endurance runner, calls it "stupid
—very nearly fatal." both were right

I didn't realize until I saw this today why the current triathlon rules state on the running segment that "You may run or walk, but may not crawl."

The ironic part about that is that someone finishing by crawling is perhaps more incredible than on their feet.

"I guess your mind gets dehydrated too" that was funny, but I think exactly like you do, she is a role model.

Ironically, now that I've done an Ironman, this video does not move me at all. before, it made me cry whenever I watched it. Talk about a hollow pursuit. For me anyways.

It's not a matter of being stupid... and it doesn't matter if she didn't finish first either... All that matters she managed to gather all her strength, and courage, and determination, and faith, and perseverance, to finish what she started. And I think, that's a great lesson for all of us ! She did not give up, she persevered.

Hey Bethnjulia, you sre an idiot. Kathleen had to finish her race. And for the record, doesn't matter if Julile finished first, you can't have 3 people helping you up every time you fall. Figure it out you arse !!
