What song gets you in the mood to race?

Clearly you have never done the Chesapeake Bay swim. It's not as hard as you would think. hehe REM's "Night Swimming" is a very good swimming song also, although it's not one of those "get up and go" numbers. It reminds me kindly of many nights camping on various lakes in Upper Michigan, long moonlight reflections on the water like a softly lapping carpet of cold silver, and floating on my back after midnight while watching the Aurora Borealis. Wow, not the first R.E.M. song that comes to my mind, being a huge R.E.M. fan. What song gets you in the mood to race? please provide: Title: Band: Link where we can check it out: one of my faves is "All Fired Up" by Pat Benetar but lately I've been liking "Hell Yeah" by Rev Theory www.revtheory.com/.../default.aspx How about you? A Ande, I just heard that Rev Theory song the other night and like it as well. I'll also throw out a couple: Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade POD - Set it Off

I like the energy in "Hell Yeah" it's a good way to approach a 50 reminds me of what I wrote a while back when you swim the 50 you need to be pissed off, tap your rage, rattle your cage, defend your life, make it a life or death situation save the life of someone you love get out of your head and into your gut flawlessly execute perfect technique get off the blocks fast and hard have a great entry and streamline tiny streamline glide SDK blast then break out swimming fast hehe Wow, not the first R.E.M. song that comes to my mind, being a huge R.E.M. fan. Ande, I just heard that Rev Theory song the other night and like it as well. I'll also throw out a couple: Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade POD - Set it Off
