CAN I LISTEN TO MUSIC DURING A TRIATHLON?
No. Although many people listen to music during all parts of their training, race organizers want to mitigate the likelihood of injury. During a race it is absolutely essential that the athletes are completely aware of their surroundings at all times (even during the swim). Roads are rarely entirely closed to vehicular traffic during a competition, but even if they were participants travel at relatively high speed and the course can get quite crowded.
