There are many heated discussions about whether MP3 should be banned or not. Frankly, I don't have any position on this. Personally, I dont' wear one for a race. I do, however, wear my iPod in ...
Actually I looked at USATF website, they changed the rules last year again ~ "At its annual meeting in December 2008, USA Track & Field (USATF) amended rule 144.3(f) effectively lifting its previously imposed ban on headphones and other similar devices at USATF-sanctioned events". That is why you saw runners wearing headphones/ear pieces in Boston.
Anyway, I am the opposite, I have to have my music on if the distance is more than 6 miles long, actually I should say songs instead. I am still listening to old songs more than 20 years old like Flashdance, YMCA, Ah Lam's remix........etc. I guess I am conditioned to them. It rained all day last year at St. George. I had my poncho on the whole time, all I heard was the noise of the poncho rubbed against my ears. As for safety reason, many insurance companies don't cover races that allowed headphones. Since USATF lifted the ban, I don't know how this is going to work now. |
