I apologize if this is old news, but it is the first time I have heard of these men. I will let the article and video do the explaining:

"I try to be a good father. Give my kids mulligans. Work nights to pay for their text messaging. Take them to swimsuit shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I'm lousy."

I've seen them mentioned whenever there is coverage of the Ironman. Simply awesome. I can't even imagine the swim while towing a dinghy.
