140.6 is 140.6 and 70.3 is 70.3.  Alot of people think a "real" triathlon is Kona and that is all they know.  It is like the difference between kleenex and tissues.  Kleenex is just a brand and Mdot is a brand name to go with a product.  People who race know what you did and will not look down on you.  The problem with Redman it is really small in numbers so people don' t hear about it.  If you do Redman and finish and want to get an Mdot tat go for it.  IMO, mdot only refers to a distance.

People actually take more than three hours to do a marathon? Who ARE these turtles and why do they even bother?


HA! Some of us take 3 hours to do a half marathon...

I know you are just messing around though... no worries.

team in training gets a bad rep. I offered to do any ironman race for them and raise money but since I was out of their local area they said no. It was there loss since I was going to riase of 10,000 dollars. anyway 140.6 is 140.6

chirunner134 -  Why else does the FOP alot of times want to see to elimate BOP from there race? T

 

well if you eliminate the BOP  at least 1/2 of the FOP becomes the MOP and the MOP becomes the BOP..

chirunner134 - 2007-10-17 12:12 PM Well I signed up for IMKY because I do not want any IM snobs to think less of what I did but it really does not matter. Its kinda like finishing Kona and not qualifiy for it. You might as well say you have not ran a marathon until you have ran boston. Some people like to be race snobs. Why else does the FOP alot of times want to see to elimate BOP from there race? They do not like the fact that I do in 6 hours what they can do in 3. Most of the time we rarely have an issue expect for races that give bop an early start and when we seed ourselves incorrectly.

Us FOPs love BOPs. Because without BOPs then we wouldn't be FOPs and that would really screw with our self image.....
