When they run, Dick pushes his son...When swimming, Rick is in a dinghy attached to his dads chest, and when on a bike, his dad does the cycling, with Rick in a seat on the handlebars.

Together, Team Hoyt have together completed

206 Triathlons
7 Iron Man Competitions
20 Duathlons
64 Marathons
78 Half Marathons
and hundreds of more races

I'm humbled by their determination, attitude, and the bond they have, and moreso, by him as a dad. If all fathers were like him in this world, it would be a whole better place.

Well got to admit thats got tears running from my eyes

Amazing determination from them both, have absolute respect for what they are doing and everything they have achieved together, so sad but at the same so inspiring


Consider me totally humbled

Very inspirational, and like you say, the world would be a much better place if all dads were like this

Well I cried....and Im not ashamed to say so.
What a family bond....oh you are so right, if everyone had that, what a world this would be.

Ok...I admit it, I had a tear in my eye.
But then I always struggle to control myself when I watch the end of ET, or anything slightly sentimental (why am I telling you guys this :shrug: ).
Please, no one start a thread on 'films that make you blub like a baby !'

stunning... most people couldn't do that alone, to do it with his son is just fantastic, what great people
