If you were to take an informal poll of sports observers, not many would likely know Julie Moss by name. But if you described her dramatic finish in the 1982 Hawaii Ironman Triathlon, you would no doubt get a very high percentage of people who were familiar with Ms. Moss and the compelling video footage...
The ABC Wide World of Sports television cameras captured every agonizing moment of Moss, then a young college student struggling with the last two miles of the marathon, rising and falling repeatedly, and slowly dragging herself toward the finish line. Moss was taking part in this grueling test of physical endurance as part of her research for her exercise physiology thesis, but ironically became the story herself and the center of much debate and praise on the merits of pushing one's body to such extreme dehydration that a person would lose control of their bodily functions... For many, the video of Julie Moss is one of the gold standards for atrhletic courage and determination, and a jaw-dropping reminder of the potential that lies within all of us, if we dare to tap deep into our spirit of possibility...
