Hi
Thanks they are brilliant, lots of different ones, girlfriend thinks they are great although she still does not want me to get a tattoo.
You have got a smart girlfriend. I have posted before, those tattoos are tapped and played out. That m-dot means nothing. A triathlon of any distance takes work and the longer distances requires even more work but with so many doing them, they are just races and nothing more. To do and finish and Ironman is an accomplishment but a silly corporate logo inked on ones body should not be the symbol of it.
Like it or not, that "silly corporate logo" IS the symbol of Ironman. One cannot argue otherwise. The M-Dot is the symbol of Ironman, period.
I do not have an M-Dot, although I do have a lot of ink, including "140.6" with stick figure swim/bike/run under it. But, I see no issue with getting an M-Dot.
Hell, most of us wear our Ironman crap a lot of the time. I use my IM finisher hats as my running hats. How is this any different?
