Looking to create a good playlist that will become the soundtrack in my head as I play around in Lake Placid on the 25th. Mental Visualization right? …haha
Anyways, what songs get everyone pumped up for training, races, heck even every day life like getting you butt to work?
Download “Mazzystar- Fade into me”
Psyched out of your mind…
If you like rock/metal I used to listen to kreator for swim meets. “shadowland” was my song for a while. I had a coach who liked the song “ridin’ rims” by Dem Franchise Boyz if rap is your thing.

This is a lie.
“Double-Rainbow, Oh my God, yeah” fires me up.
Eminem really blows and is a douche and I don’t think anyone should listen to his music.
That being said, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t foam at the mouth and break stuff when they listen to “Til I Collapse”. At least no one cool.
If you can handle instrumentals, but this song from The Last of the Mohicans just might have your running around and kicking holes in cars as it does me.
If you like being a non-conformist, Radiohead’s Myxomatosis is about as catchy as the disease with which it shares a name.
-Ali in the Jungle by the Hours I think
-Victory 2004 by P.Diddy and others.
Ready to Go by Republica
Kick It by Top Johnny
.
Some quiet riot, AC/DC, jerky boy’s some of their shit is hilarous and if you put it in around hour 5 it can get you through. The Bleeding Irish, Rancid, limp bizkit, Ripp Winkler,man bites god
Every playlist should begin with:
Black Eyed Peas - Let’s Get it Started

I highly second Eminmen, though I like “Lose Yourself” and visualize this video:

For my power song I like a little:
Kanye West - Stronger
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsO6ZnUZI0g
.
Grateful Dead-late 60s and early 70s concerts with Pigpen.
While searching for a link to “More than Human than Human” by White Zombie, I came across this chick. Where did she learn to climb like that??? She is a total freak of nature… I can’t do a 1 finger pull up?

The video…
I like to have some variety to keep it interesting… its a long race!
Infinity - Guru Josh Project
OMG - Usher - had this stuck in my head for the ENTIRE Coeur d’Alene bike…
High Roller - The Crystal Method
No Leaf Clover - Metallica
Knights of Cydonia - Muse
Promontory - Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack - Nothing will get you focused like this song. Epic!
Some random choices but they work well for me. I’m constantly changing what I listen to on race morning.
