Notes
- 1 2 Chapple, Steve (January 25, 2004). "Famous for dragging her worn-out body across the Ironman finish line in 1982, Julie Moss gives it another go 22 years later". San Francisco Chronicle. Archived from the original on July 16, 2011.
In fact, Ironman 2003 is sort of a "Battle of the Moms," in Moss' view, because McCartney (now McCartney Hearst) has three children and lives in La Jolla, only miles from where Moss grew up, in Oceanside.

“I earned varsity letters in both cross country and track as a freshman, but, as a sophomore, felt I wanted to try some new sport,” said Hearst, 17, whose fitness-minded parents, Carmel Valley residents Dennis and Kathleen Hearst, are Ironman triathletes.
