Welcome to the Hilary Topper on Air podcast, the show that features inspiring interviews with small business owners to endurance athletes around the country!
Do you remember watching ABC’s Wide World of Sports in 1982 and seeing a young woman crawl her way to the Ironman finish line? That woman was Julie Moss, and her incredible display of determination became an iconic moment in sports history, inspiring millions around the globe.
Today, I am absolutely thrilled to have Julie on the show. We’ll talk about that unforgettable race, what was going through her mind, and how that single event shaped her entire life. Get ready to hear an incredible story of resilience, grit, and what it truly means to push beyond your limits.
Here are some of the questions I asked Julie:
- Can you take us back to that iconic race in 1982? What was going through your mind?
- How did it feel to have millions of people watch you during a vulnerable and challenging time?
- Your “agony of defeat” moment is credited with sparking a surge in the Ironman Triathlon’s popularity. How does that make you feel?
- In 1994, you became the second person inducted into the IRONMAN Hall of Fame. What does that honor mean to you and how did it shape your connection to the sport?
- What inspired you to write, Crawl of Fame?
- Were there any moments during the writing process that brought back unexpected emotions or new perspectives on your journey?
- What lessons did you learn from your experiences that you still carry today?
- How do you get past the mental barriers?
