Manowar - Number 1 ‪Manowar - Number 1‬‏ - YouTube That's my favorite to tune myself though before start I prefer silence playing distance in my mind. When I swim it's like an eclipse in my head - I see no one, hear nothing (actually when I watch video later people are yelling and whistling) - I heard nothing! Only the end of the lane at the end of the tunnel is the only thing I see.

RIP Dime :chug: On December 8, 2004, Abbott was shot onstage while performing with Damageplan at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. The gunman was Nathan Gale, who shot Abbott three times in the head, the third of which killed him instantly. Gale then continued shooting, killing three others and wounding a further seven. Gale fired a total of fifteen shots, stopping to reload once and remaining silent throughout the shooting. en.wikipedia.org/.../Dimebag_Darrell

I don't think there's anything better than a blistering punk song for 50's and 100's my go-to's Rancid - Motorcycle Ride, Saint Mary, Let's Go, She's Automatic

I haven't listened to Pantera in quite a while. Gonna have to dig out the CDs again. I actually met their singer Phil Anselmo in the Dallas airport on my way to NAIA Nationals in San Antonio in 1996. Got him to sign one of my CDs as well! :) That's awesome. Always liked Phil even though they had the big falling out. They had some real groundbreaking stuff for the early 90's. Still my fav band. RIP Dime :chug:

pick one that works for you Here's a few threads: Inspiring Songs What's your song? What's your song? It's really about putting yourself in IPS Tip 24 Ideal Performance State Put yourself in IPS in workout and swim FAST Get to where you can put yourself in IPS with just your mind, just your own thoughts. Songs serve as triggers to help you get in IPS. Put yourself in IPS play the song Put yourself in IPS play the song (repeat) Then later just play the song and see if it alters your STATE. IPS isn't blind rage & going all out, it's about doing what you need to do when you need to do it to perform your race at your highest level 100 breastroke is almost all out. the way you swim 100 SCY & SCM breastroke is diff from 100 LCM hope this helps ande
