Team Hoyt (Amazing)

ya i've seen that video a couple dozens or so times and it still messes me up.   i often keep the Hoyt duo in my head when i'm having a tough day and make excuses to exercise.

no doubt in my mind the most inspirational story i've ever come across.

thanks for reminding me of them

I got and read their biography last year when my wife met them at a food trade show where they spoke.  Truly inspirational.

They ran a frickin' 2:40 marathon together!!  That is insane!!

This is the first time I've seen the video. Very very touching. I've been following the Hoyt's for a couple of years and of all of the inspirational stories to come out of Ironman Hawaii, the Hoyt's story is definitely top 3 (along with John Blaise).

To have the kind of love like they have for each other is really a gift.

I can't remember where I read this, but I believe the Hoyt's will not be doing Ironman anymore. Too bad.

I saw an interview with Team Hoyt about 15 years ago. The interviewer asked if the father had any plans to race solo. He looked at the interviewer and responded "why would I do that?"

I think about this sometimes when I need to be a better father to my kids.

When I first saw this a while ago, it put a lot into perspective for me.  I often think of them sprinting down the last 100yards at Kona when I feel zonked out after a 2 hour run.

They will be at Timberman next weekend.  I would love the chance to ride or run beside them for even a second-before they blow me away.
