Your recovery is going to be crucial.<br /><br />We have been REALLY feeling the fatigue on the legs this past week. This week is our max volume week and then we start climbing down that ladder til race day.<br /><br />Can't stress stretching/recovery enough. That is the biggest thing we learned thus far.<br /><br />Good luck man, if anyone can pull this off you would be that man.<br /><br />Side note: Few weeks back we were speaking to a race director who has helped with numerous IM events. I was saying I would get the M Dot TAT if I ever complete one. He goes, why would you want to put a corporate logo on your body??? I thought about that and said valid point. Ultimately it signifies and immortalizes your achievement. It says a lot more to me than its just a corporate branding. I back up the TATOO idea. I would focus on the M Dot more than Texas though, unless you love Texas that much :)Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-61437907639123810602010-06-21T07:34:30.633-05:002010-06-21T07:34:30.633-05:00Good luck with the training plan!

As for the tat, you should just get the entire US map with states done on your back and then after each IM you do in each state, you have an red IM tat put in the middle of that state. If the state is say, Delaware or Rhode Island, then you have the IM off to the side of the map with an arrow pointing to the teeny, weeny state. Hopefully, by the time you've done bunches of them all the states that don't yet have an IM will finally get one. See how my mind works at 4:45am? I like the big Texas with the smaller IM.KC (my 140 point 6 mile journey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05183039121953689933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-40501106329865558762010-06-20T22:35:18.367-05:002010-06-20T22:35:18.367-05:00Good luck with your new training plan!

I'm a tattoo fanatic (I love them, have just one but plan on getting a few more within the next decade or so, including an IM one)...<br />Of the 2 tattoo designs, I like the first, with the smaller Texas outline, but I'd move the mdot up a little bit so the circle of the mdot is higher up, and so that there is more of the lower outlines of Texas showing below so that it is clearly defined.<br />That's my 2 cents!!! :)krystyna47https://www.blogger.com/profile/02542292749788074294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-2458864749388249902010-06-20T20:07:50.091-05:002010-06-20T20:07:50.091-05:00Hi Jeff,
