Just ran a marathon on the weekend and received the email today from Marathon Photos that they have 43 pictures of me. Event had 5500+ runners in it and they still got that many photos of me, which I thought was a significant number.
Variables related to numbers of photographers/participants clearly affect the outcome, but nonetheless, I am personally convinced more than ever that lack of photographic evidence of participation in a professionally organized event is worthy of grounds for a DQ.
I can only speculate, but I am guessing that simply based on the size of the event I ran, that I had more people around me than Rossi at LVM, yet still got picked out 43 times.
