Gonna Get My M-Dot: To be or not to be? That is the question...
http://gonnagetmymdot.blogspot.com/2008/08/to-be-or-not-to-be-that-is-question.html
Gonna Get My M-Dot. My journey to my first Ironman and an M-Dot tattoo. Tuesday, August 12, 2008. To be or not to be? That is the question. I decided to setup this blog, similiar to my friend (Noelle) - who will be competing in her first Ironman in a few weeks. I've had to laugh at all of her stories in her training regime and thought this might be kind of fun (not sure if anyone will want to read it, but doesn't really matter). Because it's close to Minnesota and we could do training rides on weekends.

Gonna Get My M-Dot: Pre-Race
http://gonnagetmymdot.blogspot.com/2009/09/pre-race.html
Gonna Get My M-Dot. My journey to my first Ironman and an M-Dot tattoo. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. I got up and went out to the Terrace to run for 15-20 minutes. I ran into some of the girls who were at the Gatorade swim and/or spectating - including Kat, who we met in August on our training ride (she is from Chicago), Val and Jen (a.k.a. "Team"). Me, Kat, Val and Jen at Lake Menona. We can just change it". That's what we did, and got P.L. all checked in and bags dropped off. My bike rack spot. The air...

Noelle, Corrine and I got on the first shuttle down to the race start (and thank goodness we did! We got down there in the CHILLY morning air - was probably upper 20s-low 30s! A few bathroom stops and lines at porta-potties that added a few minutes to our time. I say smile and just keep pedaling! November 17, 2008 at 10:10 PM.

Gonna Get My M-Dot: Frame Done
http://gonnagetmymdot.blogspot.com/2009/10/frame-done.html
Gonna Get My M-Dot. My journey to my first Ironman and an M-Dot tattoo. Monday, October 26, 2009. I got my frame back from Michael's, after having it redone - as the dimensions were wrong the first time I got it back. I think it turned out pretty good! It has my Finisher Certificate, my Bib, my medal, a plaque with my times and my finisher photo. November 10, 2009 at 5:38 PM. Http:/ iwannagetphysical.blogspot.com/search/label/IM%20WI%202009.

Gonna Get My M-Dot: Getting Back Into It...
http://gonnagetmymdot.blogspot.com/2009/10/getting-back-into-it.html
Gonna Get My M-Dot. My journey to my first Ironman and an M-Dot tattoo. Sunday, October 11, 2009. Getting Back Into It. Today I'm a bit sore, from doing one of my new workouts from Nicole yesterday. Was actually nice to hit the gym again after taking some time off. I ended up doing a brief warm-up on the stair mill with Jake and Carmilla, then about an hour of my total-body weightlifting session - including my rehab stuff. September 3, 2011 at 2:14 AM.

Gonna Get My M-Dot: The Swim & T1
http://gonnagetmymdot.blogspot.com/2009/09/swim-t1.html
Gonna Get My M-Dot. My journey to my first Ironman and an M-Dot tattoo. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. The Swim and T1. Lining up at the swim start. The first minute required you to swim heads up - to see what the heck was going on. Imagine arms and feet just flailing, causing the water around you to be one big, bubbly mess! The course is a 2-loop rectangle, and the first length was just pandemonium. Who cares about swim technique here.just survival! The best part of the swim was looking out at the Menona.

Gonna Get My M-Dot: I Finally Got My M-Dot!!!
http://gonnagetmymdot.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-finally-got-my-m-dot.html
Gonna Get My M-Dot. My journey to my first Ironman and an M-Dot tattoo. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. I Finally Got My M-Dot! Today was the big day! I headed to see Lucky at noon for my tattoo appointment. I got there and he got me all set up with my tattoo design on my neck and Jake showed up shortly after that to oversee the procedure. The inking didn't hurt that bad. I think that the worst part was the positioning that I had to hold my head/neck in for that extended period of time! Afterwards, Jen and ...

Gonna Get My M-Dot: Time Off and Trainer Day
http://gonnagetmymdot.blogspot.com/2009/10/time-off-and-trainer-day.html
Gonna Get My M-Dot. My journey to my first Ironman and an M-Dot tattoo. Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Time Off and Trainer Day. So, for the past few weeks since Ironman, I have been giving myself some much needed rest. The leg/foot numbness has been minimal, but still there - so I've been keeping up with my rehab exercises. Other than that, a few visits to the gym to lift weights, but no swimming, biking or running (for the most part). Amazingly, this level is the. Today, I also got my Ironman frameset bac...

Gonna Get My M-Dot. My journey to my first Ironman and an M-Dot tattoo. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. After chatting with family and friends for a bit at the finish line, I attempted to eat some food. Didn't really want to, but choked down a piece of pizza and a cookie. (You really. The crew at the finish line. Jen and Noelle showing off their pipes (a post race tradition). Cindy and Noelle at Finish (Rockstars! Team" at Finish (Jen M., Jen and Val). I ended up putting another small dent in the pocketbook...
