Julie Moss inspired many women after being shown on ABC crawling across the finish line  of the 1982 Ironman Triathlon in one of the most dramatic finishes of all time. She has to be one of the toughest competitors of all time and a true example of pushing through the pain to achieve the desired result. Women to this day still come up to her and say, “I saw you crawl across the finish line in the Ironman and you are the reason I am in this sport today.”

Thang
Some stuff that is not as difficult as Julie Moss’s Ironman finish.

BOM
Pain is temporary, but quitting lasts forever. Julie Moss was admittedly ill prepared for the Hawaii Ironman in 1982, but she had 1 goal, get to the finish line no matter what the cost. The end result being fulfilling her goals and having a lasting impact on her life and the lives of many who viewed her dramatic finish on TV, myself included. Life can be fucking hard, whether it be your marriage, raising children, the demands of your job, going to school or an athletic event. You have to push through the pain to get to the finish line because quitting will have lasting effects forever. Push it today and go out and be a better Man, husband, father, son, brother, crazy uncle, or whatever it is you are in your community. Until we meet again in the gloom, Aye!
