Her idea was quirky, even crazy; only a handful of hardcore, highly trained enthusiasts competed in the little-known, 140.6-mile combination of swimming, cycling, and running. Julie brought no experience or appreciable training beyond running two marathons. She did bring a latent willpower that, the world soon found out, wouldn't be denied. What happened next changed Ironman forever . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After becoming the unlikely leader during the marathon, the final leg of the Ironman, Julie fell and lost all bodily function fifteen meters (50 feet) from the finish. While on hands and knees, she watched her rival pass her. Thirty seconds later, she crawled across the line--stunning the millions who were watching on television. At age twenty-three, Julie became the instant global icon, and the public face of fitness and endurance sports -- which exploded in popularity, partly because of her inspiration. That this young co-ed would represent such a new sport was unlikely. That she would inspire millions to change the courses of their lives in the three decades years since was unthinkable. Yet, it happened. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And keeps happening. In April 2017 Julie won her age group in the Ironman North American Championships--racing 25 minutes faster than her 1982 Ironman. How does a 58-year-old woman beat the time of her 23-year-old self? Which begs the question, \u003ci\u003eCould she also beat her 1982 time in the more demanding Kona? \u003c\/i\u003eThat's the goal, and the world will find out in October 2018. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCrawl of Fame\u003c\/i\u003e is the long-awaited release of her incredible story. Julie describes how she found her greater purpose while lying across the finish line at Ironman 1982 -- and how that greater purpose as a woman, athlete, endurance sports symbol and, now, iconic figure has defined her life and inspired others since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Several endurance sports athletes have written memoirs, but none have changed a sport so dramatically as Julie Moss. Now, readers will join the inner and outer journey of one of the world's most impressive athletes, a woman who has already inspired millions -- with millions more to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Moss, Robert Yehling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681778564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681778563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pegasus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2018 pg. 62","brand":"Julie Moss","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138798153983,"sku":"9781681778563","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4208091-1ffc-456b-80c0-a547c8b34afe.jpg?v=1687901539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crawl-of-fame-julie-moss-9781681778563","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
