Rick and Dick: Team Hoyt

After I broke my arm last year, I've been inspired to compete in triathlons and there are few tougher competitions than the Ironman. The Ironman competition involves 3 components: a 3.86km swim, 180.2km ride ending with a 42.195km run.

It is in the context of this grueling race that many amazing stories of the strength of the human spirit are told.

Here is one of my favorite videos of all time. A father and son team called Team Hoyt. Made me cry the first time I saw it. Makes me cry almost every time still. Enjoy. :)
