BT body marking

I think it might have been Max who first suggested it a year ago. It is a great way to meet others and have more fun.

Bring your own sharpie, skip the body marking line and do it yourself!

I get a bit sad when I read a BTers RR who did the same race I did, but we didn't know each other or know what each other looked like and missed each other at the race and only catch up later on-line.

Left Calf BT sure helps find others when racing...I make it a game. One race I did last year I kept asking are you Chris? Found some people who knew Chris and finally he passed me and it made my run so much more fun.

You'll know it's me at races this year as I'll be sporting my BT race tri stuff!

Great reminder!!

Someone want to take the idea and run with it, there are sites out there that allow you to design custom tatoos, realtively cheap. Here's one:

3,000 2X2s for $170=~$0.06 Find thirty BTers willing to kick in $6 (even $10 to pay for the trouble) for 100 tatoos. I'd go for it...

Works alright for a running race, but wouldn't the "custom" leg marking interfere with the "official" triathlon body marking (age/bib#)?

Isn't that only supposed to be on the right leg?  That's sort of why I suggested the left leg or use a different color than black.

Some tris do your age on one leg and the bib # on the other.

This is a great idea. I've sent Ron a heads up, so hold off on doing anything until "fearless leader" himself chimes in.

Personally I intend to be a flailing/rolling/shuffling BT billboard this year.

Ditto. Can't wait for the tri suit to come in.

Slightly related question - whether we are talking uniforms, sharpies or tattoos are people going "BT" at non-tri events?  Run only, bike only type events.  I'm just curious.  For example, someone with a BT tri suit, will you be wearing it at "run only" events this year?
