Best part of their story to me.

I saw them participate in the Texas (the woodlands) Ironman and they are incredible.

Assuming it is indeed the same duo, they have clever accommodations for them. During the swim the son was on a raft and his dad dragged him behind by a tether. 2 miles in open water. I still hardly have words.

Don't forget Rick and Dick Hoyt.
