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.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
