What's on your iPod for TTs?
Yesterday for me - admittedly short TT - it was trance cranked all the way up for a whopping 3 1/2 minutes.
10 seconds, hit play, volume up
5 seconds grab the bars, position the cranks....
Jammin.

I was under the distinct impession that USA Cycling rules forbid ipod use in all events.
Or are you talking about training TT's. I presume.

During TT warm ups or doing TT on the trainer. Korn, Disturbed, A Perfect Circle, and it is always best to finish off with "Twist" by Korn.

Gotta have "The Distance" by Cake. "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse kicks ass too.
Too bad I don't own an mp3 player

I have a bunch of things on my ipod. During practice TT's I listen to: Rachmaninoff Piano Concerti #2 and #3, Wagner overtures (Tannhauser in particular) well as Keane, Smashmouth and some Guns & Roses.

Most of the time I just use some trance stuff I downloaded. Not particularly impressive music but it has the right pulsations for long TT efforts.
When I'm doing VO2 I definitely lean into the metal: Amon Amarth, Testament, Kataklysm, Martyr, Legion of the Damned, Slayer, Symphony X, ...

I use mine in warmups. Ice-T, Disturbed, Public Enemy, the previously mentioned 'The Distance' by Cake, and some silly songs - Snap's 'I've got the Power", Special Ed's 'Got it Made'. Oh and Prodigy.
I don't race with it, as I zone completely out on TT's and probably wouldn't hear the songs anyway.

I generally listen to the sound of my heart pounding in my ears. Drowns out the pain.

Rule 1K3: (modified this year to include the following)
"Audio playback devices are expressly forbidden."
But for warming up, I listen to some Van Halen (the real VH).
