>>Why wont they allow iPods in the race?
Listening to Jock Jams might count as a performance enhancing substance.

because when the race help is screaming at the yahoo newbies to be careful about the XXX up ahead, or the oncoming traffic or whatever, they can't hear, and get hurt.
or when the slow people are slogging along, and the fast people blow past on the left, and courteously call out "on your left" as a polite safety warning, and the newbie veers off to the left for whatever unknown reason and now takes them both out...
want me to go on?

That make sense. Still, with these things tending to be so long, I don't think I'd ever do one without music.

It's a race, not a jog. Personally, I'd find it hard to focus on the competition if I had music playing in my ears.

It was a standard Olympic distance, as far as I know. I was talking with a friend who runs half-ironman and ironman distances, and he said it is a bit strange that the swim for the Olympic (1 mi) and the swim for the half-ironman (1.2 mi) are almost the same distance.

p.s. no disqualification, but at least I'll know better next time. FWIW, I would never wear my headphones on a bicycle, but I think using it on a run should be acceptable.
