Theme Music Matters

This tri season is about to kick off in about a week with the cherry blossom 10 miler, and two weeks following that the first tri of the season. Dr. T and I are building up to do a half iron man (insert image of me hyperventilating in sheer panic here) in September.

At the start of this training season I decided to select my theme music. Something to really get me pumped. I decided on "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. Now, I know the lyrics aren't quite triathlon-y, but I have rather enjoyed belting out 'I AM IRONMEL...DUH NUH NUH NUH NUH to psych myself up for the long season ahead and the ultimate half iron man.

I told Dr. T my choice of theme music; her reply, "oh hmm...that's probably better than mine-- it's 'Big & Chunky'" (Dr. T and I saw Madagascar 2 and we both absolutely loved that song) So unfortunately, now as I'm working out the song that instantly leaps to my mind is not the steely resolve of 'I AM IRONMEL', but rather.... 'big. big, and chunky, I like 'em big and chunky.' Thanks so much, Dr T!

I leave you with Moto-Moto (will.i.am) singing 'Big & Chunky'

I LOVE that! I think that now ranks as one of my top 5 favorite songs ever. :) haha I can definitely claim it as my theme song right now too. :) hehe (or, rather, should it be Nate's theme song? haha)
