As of July 2010, the Hoyts had competed 1032 endurance events, including 68 marathons and 6 Ironman triathlons. They had run the Boston Marathons 26 times. Also adding to their list list of achievements, Dick and Rick biked and ran across US in 1992, completing a full 3,735 miles in 45 days.
When Rick was asked about the thing he really wants to give his dad- "The thing I'd most like is that my dad sit in the chair and I push him once."
"I drove north today to see the Timberman Triathlon. I was hoping for some inspiration to train hard for the upcoming weeks. Quite a few miles out (6 hours into the race) we saw what could be a lone man with his son. We pulled off and sure enough it was them. All alone. No one out cheering, no other runners, bikers. Runners had even finished at this point in time. We were about 50 miles from the course. I can't explain the feeling to you, seeing this sight. We pulled over, jumped out and started yelling and cheering. I was brought to tears watching them go by. Dick said, 'thank you so much.' "

Hi, thank you for visiting this humble space of mine. I don't blog as often as I used to because I no longer find any value in blogging daily affairs, although reminiscing the past is important because it's the past that made who I am today. But I will make use of other platforms. I would pop by here if I find any thought-provoking matters or current affairs that are worthy for me to pen my thoughts.
