Learning about the experience of others can be extremely motivating and inspiring. One such experience is the story about a sporting bond between a father and son. Dick Hoyt has spent the last 25 years pushing his son Rick in a wheelchair through marathons and triathlons. Their best marathon time is a stunning 2 hours 40 minutes. He’s towed Rick the 2.4 miles swim phase of the Hawaii Ironman in a rubber dinghy and cycled the 112 mile bicycle phase with his son in a specially adapted bicycle chair. All of this despite Dick’s admittance that when he began he had never even ran a mile and was a non-swimmer!
Take a look at this video of the two of them and be inspired.
Its emotional stuff!
