Has Anyone Ever Done A Triathalon, Marathon, Bikathon.. Ect..

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.

Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
