GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN - MAY 09: A 'Dream' tattoo representing finishing their first full Ironman race in 2022 is seen on the bicep of Johnny Agar as he is massaged following a sage bath by CLC Program Director Andrea Swiger at Conductive Learning Center of North America on May 09, 2024 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "This sport of triathlon has opened my eyes to the possibilities I have within me and it has given me an opportunity to see what I can do if I’m willing to work hard for it," Johnny Agar said. "So, having the [Ironman Logo] with 'Dream' on my arm is a good reminder for me to work hard every day just like all those athletes that represent Ironman do." For 15 years, Jeff and his son Johnny Agar have been pushing the limits of endurance sports including Ironman triathlons. Their athletic accomplishments have been especially noteworthy considering that Johnny lives with cerebral palsy, a muscle disorder which necessitates assistance with his daily activities. When racing, Johnny receives full support by his sixty-one-year-old father to pull, haul and push him on course. In 2022, after five unsuccessful attempts, Team Agar completed a full Ironman - 140.6 miles of swimming, cycling, and running - within a 17-hour time limit. Nearly a decade after a failed attempt at the 2016 Ironman World Championship Triathlon in Kona, Team Agar was invited back to Hawaii to compete in this year's VinFast IRONMAN World Championship. Although the father-son-duo came up short of their dream of completing one of the most challenging triathlons in the world, they say their journey has never been solely about reaching the finish line. Their experiences have emphasized their commitment to overcoming challenges together as a family and connecting with those navigating disabilities and the struggles of everyday life.
