Julie Moss competing in the 1982 Hawaii Ironman Triathlon

what would have ben unal is for the lady who ran past her had stopped and respective the fact that Moss had kicked her tail for the entire race and done the right thing...THAT would have made it an even more incredible tale.. BTW does anyone rememebr THAt person? Nope

ahhhh, a fatty lover I see.
Luckily for the 'thinnies', they'd be able to out-run you should your presumably lardy-body start imposing itself on them.

Thanks for showing longer and CLEARER footage of the classic crawl scene, when I thought I would find only fuzzy videos.

It's a race. Moss did not win. Don't begrudge Edwards. You people applaud pathetic things like nearly dying and crawling far too easily. If both moss and edwards were neck-and-neck in a crawling race you'd love them both. I couldn't be less impressed. She blew a 20 minute lead. What an amazing come from behind victory for Edwards!

You failed to realize that her actions are supremely commendable: she was probably in ketonuric shock too. To defy every possible genetically programmed "safety override" is a inspiring display of athleticism and epitomizes mastery of the mind over the body. Honestly ask yourself if you would do the same , or if you could drive your body to such a state. Your comment was so ignorant I'm just realizing this second that you just won troll award of the fucking year. Good job *raises flame shield*

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.

Pierre de Coubertin

I believe that.

probably the most inspiring video on youtube.brilliant stuff fair play to her she still won the race in my eyes

inspiring??do you know the risks of dehydration or Hyponatremia during a resistance race?when your body can't take it anymore it's better to stop and not risk your life

the 4 minute mile held for a long time. if we had listened to you, no one would have passed it.

Consider that the leading cause of death in developed countries is congenital heart failure. Then there are other senseless, absurd, and preventable deaths from vehicular accidents, alcohol related diseases, the list goes on and on. My point is that it is better to die in the name of discovering human limitations through athletic feats than say, choking on a fucking hot dog. Your opinion is valid though.;P
