40 odd years ago I watched an ABC (US TV station) broadcast of the 1982 Ironman World Championships (there were actually 2 races that year in Kona, and this was the first from February). I was captivated from the first few seconds but I was completely drawn in when in sight of the finish, Julie Moss's legs wobbled and then gave way completely. (She recounts this in amazing detail in the conversation). After that, I kept my triathlon dream on the back burner until 1987, the date of my first tri and after that, I was off! 30 years of racing, culminating in the legacy spot at Kona 2017 where I got to meet Julie in person, a lifestyle business focussed on triathlon coaching, some amazing travel, and meeting my wife Bethany at the finish line in Kona have quite literally all stemmed from that TV moment back in the ’80s! It was brilliant to hear Julie’s side of events, including:
How you could enter The Ironman World Championships by filling in a form and paying $85
Packing just about all of her training into the 3 weeks before race day
Unexpectedly leading the race
Reliving the entire crawl almost second by second
Why finishing second might have been better for Julie than winning the race
What happened next
