The story of this father-hero. To his son, he is ready for everything.

Once the son asked his father if he could take with him part in the marathon. His father agreed, despite the problems with the heart. After the first marathon they have participated in many places, and my father always told his son, "yes." But one day the son asked the father would not want to take part in the Ironman. Father, as always, has agreed to ...

Ironman - the hardest triathlon in the world. The route is divided into 3 parts: first you need to run about 42 km along the coast, then 3, 86 km swim across the ocean, and finally, 180, 2 kilometers on the bike. Incredibly, the father and son, and finished the race together!

Later, his father, Dick Hoyt, told the story of the birth of Costa Rica. When the baby was in the womb, the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, cutting off the oxygen supply to the brain. Doctors said the baby quit, but Dick was against.



Since the father belongs to the son, as the normal child.



A few years ago, Dick had a small heart attack that occurred during the run. Doctors have learned that one of his arteries were clogged by 95%.



"If you were not in great shape, - one doctor told him - you would have died 15 years ago." It turns out that in some respects Dick and Rick saved each other.



Over the past 15 years, they have passed 212 triathlons and 4 times with 15-hour Ironman ...



This is an example of boundless parental love, willpower and perseverance.









This video tells you more about the relationship of father and son.

The story of Dick and Rick is worthy of respect, it should be about hear each. Share this post with your friends!
