Exclusive: An investigation into the legality of Gustav Iden’s prototype Hawaii Ironman run shoes has lead to a surprising conclusion: anything goes. But other than the Norwegians, nobody seems to know.

Contrary to what you may believe, tri referees aren’t eagle-eyed on any one infraction, hungrily waiting to penalize an athlete. Instead, they’re more interested in keeping the race fair and safe.
