Anyone who completes an Ironman competition is worthy of respect, but this is one of those stories that I’ll never forget. When I first saw it, I didn’t think it was physically possible for this man to accomplish such feats with his son, Rick. What makes this story so incredible is not just the sheer determination to endure the grueling test of an Ironman race, but it’s the motivation that I find so compelling. Dick Hoyt could have been content to compete in relatively short races; however, he chose to try a much more strenuous test. I’m not sure I could match the physical endeavors of that father, but his selfless sacrifices for his son have motivated me to “go the extra mile” with my daughter… be a little more patient… and be willing to give more of myself. That’s why I chose to feature this inspirational father-son relationship. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a 10 minute video with a higher approval rating anywhere on YouTube with as many views.
