Kathleen McCartney [1] is an American triathlete who won the Ironman World Championship in February 1982.[2] She passed Julie Moss, who collapsed less than 10 yards from the finish line, and won the race. The New York Times credited the race with "raising the levels of enthusiasm and participation for the sport".[3]

Kathleen McCartney has three children, Patrick Hearst, Madeline de La Serna and Carter Hearst, and is living in San Diego, California in 2024.[citation needed] Her daughter, Madeline, earned a rowing scholarship at University of California, Berkeley.[citation needed] McCartney’s nephew, Kevin Love, is a basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[4]
In fact, Ironman 2003 is sort of a "Battle of the Moms," in Moss' view, because McCartney has three children and lived in La Jolla, only miles from where Moss grew up, in Oceanside.
As Moss lay writhing in the darkness, she was passed by Kathleen McCartney, who was unaware that she passed Moss and had won the race.
