The Ironman World Triathlon Championship or Ironman Triathlon is an annual thriatlon race, made famous by its grueling length, race conditions, and sports television coverage.
Held every fall in the US city of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, the race encompasses three endurance events of a 3.86 kilometer ocean swim in Kailua-Kona Bay, followed by a 180.2 kilometer ride bike across the Hawaiian lava desert to Hawi and back), and ending with a 42.195 kilometer marathon along the coast of the Big Island (from Keauhou to Keahole Point to Kailua-Kona); finishing on Ali'i Drive.
Dick Hoyt is competitor of this Ironman triathlon. His dream was to have the chance to compete in the same team with his son Rick but he was disable at birth by a loss of oxygen to his brain because his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. Rick born with mental and physical problems but his father promised himself that he would made real his dream.
This video is incredible. I hope you enjoy it as I did and to appreciate the greatness of the love of this father to his son.
