Found this while on one of our local tri sites.  The video is great...a brief look into the story of the Hoyts- a father who does Ironman races with his disabled son, who feels "normal" when racing. This has definitely given me an extra kick!

I love hearing about those guys.  It always makes me feel like such a slacker, tho.

These guys should be President and Vice-President of the United States!!! They are sooo awesome. I first saw a report on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel...wow...out of all the stories they have ever done; their's is the most inspirational and emotional of them all!!!

Did you see how he was sprinting to the finish at the IM Hawaii???? Wow!!! I should figure out a way to make that video play every morning when I wake up to give me inspiration for the day. They are both just the best!

Thanks for the link to their team website. I want my hubby to look at it... I was telling about "crying at the computer" watching the video, and he just didn't get it.

Amazing. Really, it makes me speechless.
