I know there are safety reasons for no music on the bike...but whenis the Rule for using an Ipod or mp3 going to change for the run. Most people in the two Tri clubs I work with all run with Ipods! I know the Pro's do not use them, but the majority of people doing Tri's are not Pro's. Please do not start pounding me with negative comments, just wondering when the rules will change! |

I don't think this will ever change. Bike or Run, you need to be fully aware of your surroundings. Unlike your run at home, you are on a race course. You have to be able to hear alerts, directions and instructions being given to you. Sometimes courses are crowded, bikes may be flying by on feet away while you run, etc. I love to run with my tunes too, but on a busy race course it's just too risky. |
