Ipods? Allowed or not allowed on races
O.kay gotta ask! I love using my ipod for workouts, and I coudn't help but notice when I did my 5K in Disney I saw lots of peope with there ipods on. I thought they do not allow that (at least that was what I saw on my paper work when we signed up). I understand why they don't want you to. But personally I'm sure I am not alone on this, it sure helps me keep a pace easier.
So is it allowed or not???

I've seen it both ways. The people who are competing to win, generally don't wear them. I don't see the really good runners wearing them during races even though they do when they train. I also know a few who never use them.
If the race packet says they aren't allowed, I wouldn't use one. I'd hate to do the race and get disqualified for having one on!

USA Track and Field amended its rule in December to leave the decision up to race directors. However, they're against the rules for athletes competing in championships. Here's the link to the USATF position. http://www.usatf.org/news/view.aspx?DUID=USATF_2008_12_22_10 _22_16

For biking, I know that the MS150 does NOT allow any kinds of headphones. You have to be able to hear directions from other riders about passing and traffic. When I am training I only wear my right ear of my headphones to leave my left ear open to hear other riders.
