I keep wondering if bodymarking at big ironman races like Ironman Texas is optional? There were a lot of people going for a KQ and it seems to me that not having your age on your calf or any where else for that matter gives you an advantage and could be cheating or giving them an unfair advantage. I am not saying your should be dq bur at least you should
Be marked before entering the run course.
Its one thing if the ink rubs off and you are wearing compression but not getting body marked. it definitely gives an advantage in the last few kilometers to no have your age marked if your are passing someone.
What should Ironman do? Should there be a penalty or sanction?
