Best Answer

Slow off the mark means exactly what it says. In Track and Field the runners are told, On Your Mark, Get Set, Go! If one of them gets off to a slow start then they are slow off the mark which is the line on the track where they are supposed to begin running. This represents an expression and not an idiom or slang.
