This video makes me cry every time…
I Can Only Imagine: Dick & Rick Hoyt
Check out how hard he’s running at the finish.
On the other hand, if I ever decide to try my hand at a full Ironman please, one of you, just slap me and remind me of this…
Sian Welch & Wendy Ingraham - The Crawl - 1997
It’s real Ministry of Silly Walks stuff. And, for 4th place. Seriously!
That’s one of the great things about Ironman though - the winners get good applause, but the loudest cheers are always for those that come in later in the evening.
PS I finished my race at Tauranga in 6hr 04min, thanks for asking. It was a long day for sure, but it gets better and better the longer ago it was. :-)
Thanks for the tear warning! Man that first video, to kind of quote the title of the song, I just can’t imagine that kind of love or willpower. Brilliant link thanks!
I couldn’t watch the second one after the first. I’ll have to come back another day.
