Father-son team defying the odds in triathlon get ultimate surprise

You may remember Jeff and Johnny Agar, the father-son athletes we introduced you to last year on their journey of defying the odds in triathlon. "CBS Mornings" lead national correspondent David Begnaud traveled back to Michigan to help pull off an epic surprise for the deserving duo ahead of Father's Day.

    I'm absolutely sobbing. My father was a professional triathlete and competed for Team USA in the 2008 Beijing Worlds winning his age group. The Ironman mantra has been a part of our family's life forever. Kona was his favorite race to do and I have so many memories of his races. I'm so happy to see this. My father passed in 2017, he would have loved this story.

    “I’m not a fan of swimming, biking or running,” yet he does it all for his son. What an inspirational story! Happy Father’s Day.

Johnny, you got some dad man. My mom has CP, she rocked it too w/o fear. Although challenges remain in her elder years. Discipline will serve you well even after our parents are gone. You are determined, that will see you through. Trust me!

    Hopefully, the Agar family isn't doing this for financial gain. If you follow them, you'll notice they constantly get both local and nationwide coverage of just about about anything they can on young Johnny and how they can build klout for their daughter Annie who has a TikTok career. Who gets the revenue from Johnny's book deal? The parents!
