I just have a question....

I going to sign up for a triathalon in May... and I am reading the rules and apparently you're not allowed to use headphones/Ipod..... is this true of all races? I've done a bikathon before and I used my headphones.... they didn't even disqualify me for not having a helmet!... I feel like I wont be able to do this thing without music....

So does anyone know if this is really the international rule of these types of races?

No answer to your question.

I thought your title said "Tried a marathon in a bikini"... :blink: :blink: :blink:

That's not the rules for all races. I trained for the Portland marathon (messed up my knee during the half marathon a few months before). It's ok in the Portland marathon to use headphones but they really discourage it because of safety reasons. Triathalon may be different, what would you do with the iPod during the swim?

The iPod is a safety issue - if you're riding a bike, and it falls, your eyes can come off the road, crash into someone, fall off your bike etc. They also think that if the ipod falls out of a case while you're running you could trip over it as well.

Personally, if you're running one for fun (I know I use to do Danskin - that one was fun), people ran with their iPods in. No one said anything.

Good Luck!

In each run I've competed in, any sort of ipod or mp3 player was not allowed. Mainly because they were all road races, and it was a safety issue; they wanted participants to be aware of other runners AND of nearby traffic.

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!
