This is quite amazing a true display of self sacrifice For the ones u love others,But the Christian music in the background Just put me off...

Indeed. I'm an atheist myself, and its not a big problem. You can still express your feelings and devotion to the ones you love without believing in a god (or multiple gods).
Its all a matter of philosophies of life, and its a good story.

Wow, and it's the father who's doing the work right?

Also, what country is this from? I'm assuming Australia, cos that's the only country I have heard of do the Ironman.

Whoa really touching,i have some tears on my face .

Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races. And if they’re not in a marathon they are in a triathlon — that daunting, almost superhuman, combination of 26.2 miles of running, 112 miles of bicycling, and 2.4 miles of swimming. Together they have climbed mountains, and once trekked 3,735 miles across America.
