Subject: RE: Best part of watching Ironman Watching that guy pull his son who has CP in a boat. He runs it every year with him. I think they didn;t finish this year tho. I guess it was quite windy. He is so inspiring!!!! I think if he can do an IM pulling /pushing his son the whole way maybe I can do it too. That's Dick Hoyt and his son Ricky. They live here in New England, and I've done a few running races plus the Timberman 1/2 IM with them in the race. They truly are inspiring. Son Ricky is a recent college graduate. And to top it off, Dick recently had heart by-pass surgery and I believe may be running with a pacemaker. If you ever get a chance to meet them, take the opportunity as they are wonderful people!
