THere was just a great write up about them/interview in some magazine, like Triathlete or something. I've seen them on the Kona videos. Wow.

Hi Everyone!
A friend sent this link to me regarding the amazing and inspirational father & son team, **** and Rick Hoyt. (<<--dad goes by the shortened version of Richard, which won't appear correctly).
Perhaps you've seen it....but, it is certainly worth watching again & again. Please have some kleenex ready.

I used to see them at triathlons in New England about 15 years ago. Very inspiring. And they are still at it.
