Sorry for the stupid post title. I am looking for music suggestions to cheer my friends during the full distance tri run part. The 42 km is on 8 km loops and the back end is quite in the middle of nowhere. Some years ago we set up a cheering station there with friends just playing music from a car stereo and dancing and what not. Almost everyone stopped to thank us on the last loop and said it was very good to have someone supporting them in the middle of nowhere. So we plan to do this again this year. I do not have any music other than CDs and I really do not know anything about music so I am looking forward for suggestions to put together a good soundtrack for our cheering station. I have a nice portable speaker this year (last time we out car battery was almost dead after having the music on for hours and hours) and probably I could use Spotify from my phone. I do not have it yet but I plan to install. So if someone knows an existing playlist or just suggests music with good beat and lyrics it would be very helpful.

Songs that are on point that I like are "the Distance" by Cake and "Break my Stride" by Matthew Wilder. I also really like the Foo Fighters and Adam Ant when I work out, no specific songs, just their rhythms.

NOT "girls just want to have fun" - I hate that song and can't stand it when race directors play it before the female wave starts.
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.

I'd suggest just putting it on a Pandora station - there are "workout" and "pre-game" stations that are great.
