Silly Contest - who races with the most M-dots?

OK, I just came to the realization that I'm a bit of a walking billboard for Ironman events. I'm sure many of us are, but I want to know who's the biggest "billboard."

I have four of the little red guys with me at all times. I don't have an m-dot tattoo, but the little guy is part of the paint job on my Cannondale. Actually he's also on my carbon stryke aerobars. Crap - he's on my wetsuit too. Oh no...and he's on my 5 year old watch!

That's 4 of the little guys, and I swear I didn't plan it that way. I know it's a silly thread, but every now and then we all need to lighten up a bit, right?

Who's races with the most M-Dot's?

So - this is the spinoff thread from "reasons to quit"? Okay, I'll play...

Hm

M-Dot tat, (don't hate)

M-Dot wetsuit

M-Dot participant stickers on bike (2)

M-Dot water bottle

So, 5 of 'em, for now. Of course the holidays are coming = new gear!!!

Watch

Socks - Count as two

That's it... But I do try to stay away from the little bugger.

Jeez -- I hadn't thought of this.

Fuel belt

Timex watch

Socks

I think (I hope) that's it.

Julian in england needs to answer this one. He is filling in several mdot outlines with the national flag colors of the country ravced in. Nice tat.

Heheh...my count would be hat, watch and possibly shorts. It depends, I actually prefer a different pair unless it's hot out. Oh yeah...wetsuit too. Probably only three...although last year my brother and I went running in Cali on vacation...between us I think we had 7 or 8 M-dot logos. We both laughed our butts off when I met him at the Huntington Beach pier.

Damn! I thought I'd get away with 3 - watch and gloves. Ok, 4 if I wear my heart monitor. Does it count if no one can see it? But today I took delivery of a used red Kestral fork I got off eBay and what I thought was a Kestral sticker turns out to have an M-dot lurking under the K - one on each side. Put me down for 6 of the little buggers.
