| Julie Moss competing in the 1982 Hawaii Ironman Triathlon |
 |
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.
