I first learned about Dick and Rick Hoyt (Team Hoyt) in the 80's while I was watching an Ironman Hawaii TV broadcast for my first time. I saw a middle aged man (Dick) pulling his adult son (Rick) in a boat through the ocean 2.4 miles. Then Dick carried Rick to his bike and pedal their combined 250 plus pounds of weight 112 miles. And in the end Dick transfered his son once again but to a running stroller and completed a full marathon. I was truly amazed with Dick's physical strength and love for his son Rick. At that time, I thought the Ironman was an impossible event that could only be completed by super-human professional athletes. Today, I know that anything is possible and that anybody can complete an Ironman Distance Event. The only thing a person must do is make the commitment to do it and put a plan in action. This video almost always makes me cry. I love seeing them fly down the finish line chute and cross the finish line. If a person can not find some motivation in this clip .... I don't know what will. Keep watching …. I will.

Dude, I saw them at the Bonelli Tri Express Series. I was too amazed to approach before the race and they were too fast as they passed me on the run. They are truely awsome.
