Are we aloud to chew gum while running our race,
or pole vaulting?

why would you want to? it detracts the mind from the situation at hand, because you're basically multitasking.

I like to chew gum while i'm running b/c it keeps my
mouth from getting dry.

chewing gum while trying to vault throws me off so much. i'd have to chew with the rhythm of my steps which would be way too distracting and complicated. it's easier to just throw it out.

I can't function without gum in my mouth. Sometimes I fall asleep with it in there, then when I wake up from my little nap I can start chewing it again.
