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.

Yeah u r correct both are doing a race! the only way I would stop it would be if it was my brother or something like that, but I would still give the first step to the finish line lol.

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 !!

I watched this video in tears and rage. What I saw Kathleen McCartney do was the greatest lack of sportsmanship I have ever seen.

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.

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.

asides from taking great determination it also takes some amount of stupidity to not make sure your hydrated enough.

Try not to cry I did
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
