I love using my mp3 player while running and working out. I dont run as well without it. Can you wear them in the cycling and running portion of a triathlon? This might be a stupid question but I'm really curious. Thanks.

Just did a thread on this not to long ago, but in short no.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Better learn to get along without it. Cowboy up and leave it at home. A long olo ride or run is one thing, less than an hour, you'd really need to toughen up.

Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

I am the same way I love my Nano but 99.99999% of races no matter what kind of race I ran doesn't allow headphones of any kind. I think the reason is so race officials can communicate with you.

Now I have gotten away with it on a marathon or two but on Tri's the race officials are a lot more strict on the rules. I wear mine anything over an hour during excersize. I do get used to it but on race day I don't need it because I am all pumped up from the race....

I had until x-mas a small iPod shuffle. Now I have a new iPod video and I want to get the 5 CTS cycling workout videos they have into my iPod in order to have a better workout when I go to the spinning bikes at the gym than to follow the actual spinning class. (This only at this moment that I´m not following any strict traing plan)

But for my real bike I go without music for safety reasons.

As caiman said.....read the old thread!
