Subject: RE: Ironman Finisher TATTOOJust wondering if anyone has gotten a tattoo on the upper back/lower neck? I'm tattooless at this point and moving up from HIM distance in 2009. If successful, this will be my one and only tattoo. (Just dreaming of the right placement while on my long bike rides! )
To me, the M-Dot tattoo represents the triathlon's world's "Red Badge of Courage"....and I think it is a personal representation of one's efforts whether you are a pro, an elite, a top age grouper, or mid-grouper/back packer age grouper. Each person has there own victorious story and let NO ONE take that away from anyone of you that already wears the M-Dot or is comtemplating getting a well earned M-Dot Tattoo! I don't give a "f#$&" whether you finished the event in under 12 hours or just made the 17 hour or 18 hour cut off! You had the perseverance to see it through. I, myself, look up to those who have completed an Ironman Distance and hope to join you in those ranks!
Peace to all! |
