Team Hoyt – A father’s love for his son
Good morning
The son asked his father, “Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?
The father who, despite having a heart condition says, “Yes”. They went
on to complete that together & even completed other marathons. The father
always saying “Yes” to his son’s request of going through the race together.One day, the son asked his father, “Dad, let’s join the Ironman together”.
To which, his father said, “Yes’”.For those who don’t know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race
encompasses 3 endurance events:A 2.4 mile ocean swim, a 112 mile bike ride & ends with a 26.2 mile run. Father & son went on to complete the race together.
