An Ironman Legend

Julie Moss 1982 - She is in the lead of the women field and as she hits the finish chute, she collapses, her body all but spent and out of control. She tries to get up but can't. But the finish line is so close and she wants it bad. The second place woman comes up and passes her. That prompts her to crawl. Her face is a grimace of determination as she puts one hand in front of the other and doggedly makes her way to the finish line. Even with the crawl, she comes in second. But she truly is the top finisher. Her crawl is the crawl that placed Ironman on the world map. It is her crawl which so accurately described the iron will of the competitors to reach that finish line at all costs.
