Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 106)

INCREDIBLE TULK (That should be your new BT name by the way)- I'll have to watch the video again more carefully with that in mind. Thanks for telling me. Your wife is a butt kicker.

NOAH- An Ironman in May already? Wow! ...Oh, and in May no less! Whew! I've done Steelhead a few times and have enjoyed it. It's a nice race. The swim has been cancelled twice since it has been around, but I wouldn't let that stop you if you are considering that event.

2012- Well, at this point my intention is to really get after Olympic distance next year, and maybe round the season out with the 1/2 Rev @ Sandusky. However, I have not decided on this yet. I might check out the HITS triathlon in Traverse City, MI in October, but I'm a tad nervous about how cold it could possibly be.

Alright, I think I'm going to sign up tonight for Rev 3 Full Cedars Point which is NEXT weekend.  Sounds nuts, I know, but it also sounds like fun...

Still mad about walking a 5:47 marathon at IMKY due to cramps.  Figure my recovery time is less (I feel great and have all week) since I didn't have to run the hardest part.

With all due respect, you are all crazy people! 

Love it.

Cube great design.

Signing up for Ironman Rev3...whoah!

Full-IronMike...I'm not shocked. You are a long course stud.

Great job to all the finishers... especially the first- time IMers. I know I never posted much in this thread, but I definitely lurked and fed off everyone's excitement!!

Someone asked if Augusta was too soon to consider this year. Well I am signed up for Augusta and IM FL in a few weeks, but I might not be the best person to ask! (Although Augusta did just sell out)

Great job and maybe I'll run into some of you at another race sometime

I'm thinking IM Louisville again in 2012 to try for a better time (I'm disappointed in my "run").

Or I'm thinking IM Florida or Beach to Battleship Full distance for a flatter course.

Congrats to all!!!!!!!!

Ok, I got my tatto today!  I'm going to try to attach a picture (I'm not very good at this stuff!).

The first one is for Wisconsin (no color since I didn't finish), the second one is for Florida (orange & blue) and the third one is for Louisville (red & black).  I plan to add more as I continue to do them ~ Lake Placid 2012 ~ and make it wrap up and around my ankle!

What I did was upload the image to http://imageshack.us/ and then copy the "Direct Link" URL on imageschack and place that into the "Image URL" field on BT. Click Submit, done.

Hope that helps.

I did it!  Thanks, Noah!!

Ok, so the first one is for Wisconsin (no color since I didn't finish), the second one is for Florida (orange & blue) and the third one is for Louisville (red & black).  I will continue to add as I continue to do more IM's (Lake Placid 2012)!

At this point 98.9% of the content of my book is complete. Next comes inserting names and results and then the big task of editing. 

OH! Those of you who were in the photo with me at the Athlete Dinner. Do I have your permission to put that photo in my book, along with your names? AND, if you want the photo, e-mail me about that as well.

I received several e-mails indicating interest in allowing me to put their names and results in the appendix. I you still have an interest in this, please e-mail me your race number and also let me know if you want me to notify you when the book is complete. My e-mail is [email protected]. It's not too late...YET.

I will of course be posting on this forum when it is done. With a LOT of luck, it could be in the next two weeks.

Cool tattoo!  Another thing I've seen is the smaller signature icon that represents each race tied into the M-Dot somehow to differentiate between races (pine tree for CDA, Louisville Fleur de Lis,etc.).

Tri Sam - not sure if I was in the Starbucks pic since I got there late, but you're welcome to use my info - I did ask the site admin for a name change to "fullironmike" btw :)

Thanks guys! 

halfiron, I mean fullironmike  ~ I thought about that, too!  I was thinking about the little symbols (capitol building, sunshine, fleur di lis); however, decided to go with the colored mdots instead!  I hope it's not too much!

I would LOVE to do Louisville again next year, it was so much fun and is a great venue, but like Sam and a few others I am going to focus on my speed and power for a while at the oly and sprint distances (with the occasional 70.3 sprinkled in, prob Muncie next year and definitely Eagleman at some point). I am sure I can't stay away from the glory of the full iron for long (I secretly give it no more than 3 years, probably less), and IMLOU will be at the top of my list again. For now I am getting back on it and taking advantage of this year's fitness to do an oly (favorite distance) for the first time this year at the Muncie Powerman Oct. 1. Then I will try to get a good marathon time at the Indianapolis Monumental marathon in November, just to see what I am capable of. 

Oh yeah, I am determined to get a tat this year (don't tell the wife). My idea is simple and pretty subdued, just the 140.6 on the shoulder-blade or upper arm with the M-dot for the 'point' (see below if it worked). Here are some drafts, what do you guys think? And which font?
