Do your really deserver your M-Dot? (Page 3)

I look at all the M-Dot gear out there but I know I personally cannot wear it until I become an Ironman. The only thing I have with the Ironman logo/trademark is my Timex watch.  I was in the Marine Corps and I have the same felling about it as I do the Ironman.  You cannot wear anything Marine Corps or get any tattoos until you become a Marine.  Once I became a Marine I got my tattoo 1 week later, and I wear Marine gear all the time, it's something I am proud of.  I feel the same way about wearing Ironman stuff.  I would hate to be a "poser" and I would feel like I took away something that others have worked so hard for.  I want to get the Ironman tattoo and I want to wear the gear, but I have to get my a$$ out of bed everyday and train to do become an Ironman.

So until the day that I cross the finish line of an Ironman, my watch is going to be the only thing that says Ironman.

My 2 cents.

Good point, I surf military.com and always amazed at all the posers out there claiming to be  Marine Recon, Ranger Ricks,  Seal team 6, Green Berets, Delta ect.ect.  Really hate the MFs that say MOH winner.

Anyway, carry on. 

They tried for years to put it together.  Don't hold your breath.  It will not happen.

Talk to Melody at NA Sports and her answer is, "It's not just no.  It's hell no."

    Wonder why the no no no atittude?

M Dot Olys.  What'll they think of next? 

So would it be proper to get an M Dot 35.5K tattoo (or whatever an oly works out to be....)?

Well, that is sad to hear JF.  Maybe they'll make it a different color.  I earned my right to wear "schwag" (as Daremo put it.) 

I saw an ad for an IM treadmill.  What is that all about?  Ugh. 

Still, when I try to explain the IM thing to someone they usually have a clue that is a tri but have no clue of the distances.  recently found out I was equated to an extended family member based on the "tri" thing but then someone explained--months later--that I am an IM and not a Sprint Tri one-timer as the other guy.  (I keep my IM thing to myself, and let the Schwag speak.

Yeah, I was next to the huge line in the huge line to register, although I was in the volunteer line so it was a little less huge. Huge huge huge. There, now I have the record for saying huge in a single post. Huge.

Thanks!  I was pretty ticked, having flipped through the darn magazine 3 times and NOT finding the article.  I thought maybe they were referring to the article on steriod use.

I quit buying Men's Health b/c I got so sick of the actual article having NOTHING to do with the teasers on the cover.  After this little "adventure," this magazine might not be far behind...
