On a crazy pre-christmas Saturday afternoon my husband switched on the tv loooking for some football. This is usually greeted with loud complaints of "look how busy we are, you should be doing something more productive with your time.....etc. (poor guy just stopped for lunch, we wives can be so ungrateful)
Luckily I was on my best behavior and satisfied myself with a behind-his-back eye roll. Good thing, too, cause he happened upon my all time favorite sports program. The Ironman Championship showcase!
The oldest female participant in '08 was 72! How cool is that! She has participated in many Hawaii Ironman races before, but I still think she's cool. All the individual stories are so inspiring. Gets me thinking about next season...
The Ironman stories always make me teary-eyed, but the Hoyts are absolutely the most inspiring.
If your reading this blog, you know a bit about triathlon probably, and may have seen pictures of the Father/Son Hoyt team. But if not here is one of the many videos that tell their story. It just shows to what lengths good parents go to help build their children. Grab your tissues,
Absolutely beautiful.
(the video is pretty old, the Hoyts didn't race this year, but I still love their story best.)

Thanks for the post Liz. The Hoyts are definitely a great example.
