IM Sticker on the car - I did it

My IM sticker is peeling off the back of our vehicle. We have a new RAV4 on order that is being made in Japan so taking longer than expected. Not sure if I'll put a new one on the new car.

Seeing the 140.6 sticker gives me mixed feelings...sad that I doubt I'll be able to do another due to injury issues and bit pride that I finished 3 of them.

I still have my Ironman Finisher (wife bought it) and De Soto sticker on the bike rack    I am not averse to stickers, I actually like them (well, not political ones), when I get a new car and when/if i do another IM i'd get another one.  I have my chiro's/ART's guy's sticker (hey a little free advertising, maybe I get a deal) and a new Mammoth Mountain sticker 

I just thought it interesting we always see threads about putting them on....  rarely about taking them off.  I am very proud of my IM finish, btw.  But the sticker just looked like a$$

Hey, as long as you can still see out the window, seems okay to me!

See, I thought it was like the flag, once it gets tattered your duty is to take it down 

No, it's like that ratty t-shirt you still have that your significant other wants you to get rid of, but you don't.  It has emotional significance and you never know if you're going to be able to replace it so you keep it no matter what.  It's not too late for you to pull that sticker you pulled off out of the trash and stick back on to your car!

Funny--today I put my new USAT sticker on 'my' new car. I also tore the peeling 70.3 and Swim/Bike/Run stickers off of what is now my husband's car (my old one). I ALSO was sure to remind him that I want my USAT license plate frame on 'my' car.

For the record, I am planning on getting a new 70.3 (after all, I DID do another one this year) and *hopefully* a 140.6 in a couple months!

I removed my Mdot sticker from my car........and taped it to my left calf.  After I got back from registration I put it back on my car

Honestly, I only have the little round Mdot sticker on the car.  Didn't want to waste the cool stickers on a car that I'll only have while we're in Japan.  The bike case is an entirely different story.

Lol!  My Nieces thought my 140.6 magnet stood for a radio station

^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^

Stickers are for bike cases, not for cars.

But do people do the "jeep wave" or are they just too intimated by your stickers?

Psalm 140:6

I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” 
   Hear, LORD, my cry for mercy.

I guess the cry for mercy portion is relevant to IM.
