Race Tunes (Page 2)

I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
Let It Rock - Kevin Rudolf
Drop Some Drums - Love Tattoo
Mamasita - Flexy
Standstrom - Darude

I'd pay extra to race in an event where the entire soundtrack was 80's hair metal.


As a spectator, I have to say the music they play at IM events is just god awful horrible. 

Some great ideas on this thread!  I like the Eminem "Lose Yourself" song myself.

Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
Soul Meets Body - Death Cab for Cutie
Just Like a Pill - Pink
Float On - Modest Mouse
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - Proclaimers
Elevation - U2
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
Zephyr Song - Red Hot Chili Peppers

I would kill to hear Welcome to the Jungle by GNR right before a race.
A lot of NFL teams play it for the opening kickoff...a great opener! 
Axl's demon screams would motivate me to take on an IM after having just completed an IM.
 

If you go with a down and dirty live version, you get the good ol', "You know where you are?  You're in the jungle baby!  You're gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!"

Thanks for the suggestions so far please keep them cumming!

I tunes is going to love me!!

The race is the Sandy Beach Duathlon.

I think the music is for the athletes they come by the speakers 4 times at my race.

Thanks again,

Roy

I don't claim to have good taste in music - but here's what works for me every time:

I Dont Care - Fall Out Boy
You Could Be Mine - GnR
Theme from the A-Team
Twisted Transistor - Korn
Blue Monday - Orgy
Suck My Kiss - Chili Peppers
Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie
That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings
God's Gonna Cut You Down - Johnny Cash
Sexy Back - Justin Timberlake
Handel's Messiah - The Halleluia Chorus

ABBA Gold - the whole album. The racers will love you.

Awesome choice.  I'd love to have a good classical tri.  How about some Orff?  Carmina Burana right before the gun.  Gonna Fly Now at the finish.
