The exact number of races they've competed in is astonishing. In total, they've completed 1,091 events, including 252 triathlons, 70 marathons, 94 half marathons, and 155 five-kilometer races. They have never finished last in any of them.

I bet the swimming portion was fun to watch.

What an attention whore.

I wish we focused more on high achievers in this country than we did on the evolutionary rejects.  We are actually cancelling academic awards ceremonies now because it might make the dumb kids feel bad.

Yeah, that's totally obscure to hipsters. They've never heard of mainstream Hollywood movies before.

0/10. Trolling is so 2006. Get a life, loser.

I've read about Team Hoyt many times, and I have to say something that will sound horrible. I don't think the son should get credit for completing any of these endurance events. He can't control his own body. Saying that he did a marathon or triathlon is like saying that someone who sat in a theater through six weeks of rehearsals took part in a play.

Not everyone can do everything, and despite all the will in the world, he doesn't - because he can't - do sports. He was dealt a really bad hand at birth; if there is such a thing as reincarnation I hope he comes back in his next life as a star athlete and a rock star combined.

If the son is undeserving of credit they would not be a team as you called them, and the last I checked teams worked together, provided motivation, and support. If some guy enlists in the army, is shipped to the front lines, and gets his legs blown off before he does anything substantial shall we not give him credit for serving no matter how "fruitless" he may have been? No. Fark off.

Ok now I want to go to a marathon and cheer them on.

No.  That's what I actually believe.

I can still remember when I first started doing triathlons in the early 90s, Dick Hoyt and son were doing the Kona Ironman. 2.4 mile open water swim, 112 mile bike in the raging heat and brutal crosswinds followed by a full marathon. It's one hell of a feat for a person to do it alone, much less be pulling someone along. I did the half Ironman in Kona and it was one of the toughest physical challenges that I ever did, so I can certainly appreciate what Dick has done. He is amazing. That kid is very fortunate to have such a tough and caring father.

Dick isn't going to have sex with you.

Oh come on, subby. That last part just means they were always lucky enough to be within tripping distance...

//kidding, it's actually pretty damn inspiring admittedly. But this is fark.

Incorrect. He already did.

The guy in your example actually served until he was wounded. Volunteers and fans provide support at races; they aren't racing. Stadia full of fans provide encouragement and support for baseball players but they aren't playing baseball.

Contrast this story with the earlier one where the Mom resented having her first Son because it took away from her me time.  Then she went and had a second one who cursed her for the rest of her life by having MS at a later age.

That guy is seriously deserving of at least a world's greatest Dad shirt.

I might be an asshole, but this was my first thought at the headline without reading the story.

TFA says that they've never finished last in an event.  based on the above, i think we just figured out who keeps losing to them.

Sure got dusty here all of a sudden.

A bigger Hero than any professional sports dick wangler.

Deserves the statue at the least.

If you RTFA you could see that he motivates the father to run and achieve for both of them. Power feeder relationship. Power feeder is part of the team.

Boston Marathon in 2 weeks.

I motivated the Broncos to win two Superbowls, but I never got official credit for the wins.

This father has bigger balls than Lance Armstrong.  Wait, that didn't come out right.  This guy has more testosterone than Lance Armstrong.  But he got it all naturally.  There were no multi-million dollar sponsors, doping charges and all of the hype.  It was all for the love of the son that  never got to  grow up and have children and an independent life of his own.
