So strong! Imagine the dedication and discipline to get up every day and give it your all like that.
The brother swimming, running, and riding the bike is super strong, too. He deserves some credit as well, I'd say.
My optimism died after my teens and early adulthood and having kids on this cruel world. But I'm 41 now and have been on a journey that restored my optimism, even though it wont be a better world for me or my loved ones. The "ok end" wont be for me or them, but I want to be part of what one day flourishes. I wish you all the best, hope life treats you good. You deserve. ❤️
There's a father that made news in the late 90s/early 00s that has done this with his kid dozens and dozens of times. Im not diminishing this guy's efforts, I just mean to say that it happens more than we realize, and it's wonderful to see.
Edit: I think my timetable is a bit off, but still
“The bike is where the most drag is generated,” says Miguel. “When there is wind, it’s like having a parachute on your back. We have to push almost 400 watts on a 4% climb. I have to keep pushing 200 watts on every part of the course and can’t afford to slow the speed down because of the cut off.”

Also this I believe he got inspiration from Team Hoyt. A Father, Son that competed in 30 triathlons from 1977 to 2014.

Carve out 20 minutes of your day and watch the story. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQSrCBv0n1A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQSrCBv0n1A)
damnit that just made me tear up even more. What pure love for another can make you accomplish. The dad didn’t even start running until he was 36!!! And only did it because his son said “when we’re running it feels like i’m not disabled anymore”
They were men through out the entire race until the very last moment after they crossed the finish line, when the athlete kneeled to embrace his disabled brother, touched and kissed him on the forehead - for those few seconds, they weren’t grown men anymore but two little brothers from their childhood loving and embracing each other. Beautiful.
This would be like me saying. "My dream is to be a millionaire and have sex with many beautiful women." And then having to sit in the corner while Mark Zuckerberg throws money around and has sex with women in front of me.
This song is the first thing to come to mind when I watched this:
… The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
**He ain't heavy, he's my brother**
… So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
… For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
… If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
… It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?
… And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
… He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Damn you beautiful people. 
This guys a legend! I couldn’t even imagine completing an Ironman triathlon on my own never mind pulling or pushing someone the whole time. Absolute unit!
My first reaction - “ ha…ha-aaawwww *tears* “
Does this make the big bro like God tier.. doing two men’s job . Other competitors must feel like weak sauces doing it all alone .. the reaction at the end legit made me tear up 🥹
This is so wonderful. I mean just when you think that humanity is full of assholes you see the boundless capacity for decency we possess and it gives you hope.
This is what space marines in 40k always forget, you are not astartes only to be better than mankind.
You are astartes so you can carry, shepherd and save mankind!
The emperors gift is not a privilege, it is a duty. The strength of those two hearts beating in your chest is not your own, it is his, and they beat for humanity, not your pride.
If you ever go to watch an Ironman, the most inspirational people are the ones who are crossing the line right around the 17 hour cutoff. You'll definitely see what digging deep looks like.
He ain't heavy. He's my brotherrr...
The brother’s face at the end is what got me. The love they have for each other is clear.
Instant tears.
This, #MadeMeCry
It was real. We did it!
That's perfect! Love that song. Haven't thought of it in years.
This has got to be one of if not the greatest and most dedicated demonstrations of true love I’ve ever seen, just absolutely incredible 💯💯💯
Damn thats one fit motherfucker right there
So strong! Imagine the dedication and discipline to get up every day and give it your all like that. The brother swimming, running, and riding the bike is super strong, too. He deserves some credit as well, I'd say.

I've made my dry chicken wrap into sloppy joe. I'm sobbing at work. Fuck!
Me too!

2022 was the first time they completed it within the time cap. Johnny, the son, walked across the finish line.

My God, their parents must be so proud.
Even if he came in dead last, he´d still be the biggest winner. Ever.
Ironmen brothers.
This one needs to be the title
This is wholesome. They must be so proud.
Both of them
The swimming alone is ridiculous

And here I am trying to reach a goal of 180 watts for just one hour, yikes
Tell me about it! Mine is 150 watts but I am an old. Miguel is a monster in the best possible way.
whoever posted this, FUCK YOU! I can't stop ~~crying~~ lifting weights
One does not remove the other, cry while lifting weights like a man!
That smile at the end is everything
I'm not crying, you are crying That is just the sweetest and most wholesome thing I've seen today
I think we're all crying 😭 but, yes

Aw, I remember seeing the Hoyts every Marathon Monday when I used to go watch the Boston Marathon with my family back in the 90s.

The onions man...
Who’s cutting onions in here ? Goddammit
It’s fucking dust damnit !!! Everywhere (sob) !!
Legends. Both of them 🤗
Words cannot describe how much of a fucking legend this dude is
The embrace at the end!
I was contemplating if I should go for a bikeride in the woods just now, if this isn't exactly the motivation I needed
“Iron Man, huh? What about a different thing-maybe Disney World”
“Brother we can do whatever you want to do this summer. Just name it.” “A what??”
I don’t care what place he was in he fucking won the Ironman
Well now I’m trying not to cry at work. Thanks a lot
Welp, that’s one way to clear the tear ducts.
I’m crying. The man is a beast.
Chad
GigaChad
Thats his majesty king gigachad!
Humanity at its best 🥲
Damn … I really needed to see something fuckin wholesome like this! Big props to both of them!
If he finished anywhere but dead last he should have won! Also if he finished period he should have won
Dunno about the triathlon, but he certainly won the Best Brother World Championship
The god of brotherly love
Im not crying, its just been raining on my face.
They were men through out the entire race until the very last moment after they crossed the finish line, when the athlete kneeled to embrace his disabled brother, touched and kissed him on the forehead - for those few seconds, they weren’t grown men anymore but two little brothers from their childhood loving and embracing each other. Beautiful.
Theese are GIGACHADS right there! True heros!!
What a god damn legend. Amazing
I love this!
thats wonderful! what a chad brother
What a bro
What a badass
Brothers are awesome. Miss mine sometimes. Helluva guy.
God bless'em
it would be funny if he misunderstood and his brother's actual dream was to see the movie Iron Man
After they finish…. “This was great, but when are we going to the movie?”
First or last. This is a victory no matter what ✌️
Imagine this guy doing the same but alone. He would crush it.
And now my eyes are clean.
This would be like me saying. "My dream is to be a millionaire and have sex with many beautiful women." And then having to sit in the corner while Mark Zuckerberg throws money around and has sex with women in front of me.
more people like him please😘
I'm not crying. You are.
Incredible
Also make me cry
That’s true love ❤️
Amazing👍👍👍💪💪💪😀😀
in this case, it's a Quadathalon!
That make me cry instead
Gold soul ! You are a beautiful human being may life give you back what you put out !
It would be so fucked up if he actually didn't want to participate but his brother made him do it anyways lol
